I do think that only veterans or people who actually pay INCOME TAX should be eligible to vote. Needs some skin in the game.

I think we should go back to the days when only property owners could vote.

Why? A lot of former property owners have the right to vote, every bit as much as you do. People lose their property all the time for various reasons but most are losing it now due to the current depression (yes, I said depression, not recession). But, as long as government has the ability to tax the property we buy, nobody will ever truly be property “owners”.

Under an Obamanation, you would disqualify 90% of conservatives, since I believe they intend to take from the haves and give to the formerly have-nots.... just as all good little commies do and have done.

Think again.

Amen!!!

In our NEW smaller government we should:

1. Seal our borders
2. Kick out all non-citizens
3. Stop all funds to other countries
4. No grants to any groups for any reasons
5. Only land owners, & veterans allowed to vote with picture ID & fingerprint at the voting place
6. TERM limts
7. A simple flat tax
8. A on-line monthly statement of tax monies received & spent...EVERY month.
