Yeah, let’s let the average person have a say in how things are run. That’s a good idea!

Originally the "average person" DIDN'T have a say. Only Land (property) Owners could vote. It changed to all 'Free Men' in the 1840's or 1850's.

And people wonder why I’m a monarchist.

And that's why I think it should go back to only property owners being allowed to vote. The idea that some Oprah viewing, section 8, lay-about slug with eight kids by six men, can raise MY TAXES fries my @$$ to no end!

I'm with you. The idea of making a body temperature of 33°C the sole qualification to vote is, frankly, nuts.

That would help keep the system honest, but it's still not quite fair since Woodie blessed us with the IRS.
