So, only someone who was in the military should have the right to vote? That is the ONLY way to have skin in the game? So the other 97% are just eaters?
I understand the sentiment. But the numbers don’t work.
It can be expanded to anyone who actually serves the community.
Just like the founders wanted only those who own land, we can have as voters those who served also as police, or EMTs, doctors, teachers, elected as dogcatcher, etc.
But the idea was that only those who had been willing to put something on the line, should have the right to decide.
But hey, it is only an opinion. The system we have now seems to work really well, right?
Any one who pays taxes, is NOT on welfare, a citizen, with voter ID and is not a dependent should be allowed to vote.
