land owners
that fixes so many problems. im tired of city folks raising taxes on my land to pay for thier dumbass educations.
As someone who doesn't currently own land, and is barred from doing so by this stupid seller's paradise, I'd be a bit salty, but I'd understand.
If the owners were the ones making the rules there would generally speaking not be a supply shortage causing this seller paradise.
People can generally be counted on to serve their own self interest. It is in the interest of the landowner to be able to create more opportunities to acquire more or nicer properties. That also benefits the non-landowner in making it easier and cheaper to get into.
Need to be as primary residence so you don't have some liberal giving away one square inch of land in the middle of no where. Also we have a federal income tax so you can have people paying a lot in taxes, but can't vote. Here what i wish it was.
Federal elections: Have to pay a average of like $1000 federal income tax over the last 4 years. The $1000 tie to inflation.
State and local election: Have to own property their as your primary residence.
Whaaat? If you only let tax payers vote then you'd have to make them prove that they're tax payers!
It's bad enough we have to make voters prove they're actual citizens!
Right?
Right guys? We make voters prove they're citizens, right?
I meet all of those except the kids part. I don't want kids, so that shouldn't stop me from being able to vote.
That's a fair point. I still don't think it's fair though. Most of the people I know my age don't want kids and don't plan on having any. People also aren't thinking in terms of the future when our life expectancy and longevity are going to go through the roof. I know I'll see it on my lifetime at least. Since I'm only 27.
Fairness and "fairness" are two separate things. Muh fairness is definitely a problem. Entitlement is a plague upon the earth.
I agree though. You should at least be a tax payer owning some kind of property. At least a car, to show you can handle responsibility of some kind.
I've never wanted kids. As long as I can remember. Me and my husband have talked about fostering, which is a slim chance, but adoption is likely not in our future. My goals align more with helping other young adults get on their feet, than raising a child. I couldn't really care less about genetics or passing on the family name. I've also been lectured endlessly about other adults on how I'll regret not having children. We all have our own calling. I just know kids ain't it for me.
I do understand where you're coming from though. For most people kids are probably a logical life progression. Just ain't for me.
Hope you have a great one!
Don't feel bad. Your one vote would be outweigh by 2 or more commies with no loyalty to our nation.
Landowners
If you can't get your shit together enough to have a physical stake in America, no vote.
So, does 10000000 acres of land get China and German citizens a vote? That's a real question we'd face under this system
Only American citizens should be able to own land
I can get behind that
Honestly, where I live, I can't afford to buy property. The fact that the housing market is so overly bloated by people from other countries buying up our land, pisses me off to no end. I'm a small business owner who runs shop out of a bonus room in his parent's house, and I'm frustrated by all this bloat. I've been busting my ass for years trying to get to a point where I can own some Real Property.
I get the sentiment of land ownership as a requirement, and I agree it'd solve a lot of problems, but we'd need to strip away the property rights of non-citizens in this country to ensure that the market isn't running off with wild horses.
Only American citizens should be able to own land
I actually argued this with my family years ago. Not American, but I reversed the famous expression: No taxation without representation. (No representation without taxation).
No representation without taxation. 'Wors' for me.
No representation without taxation.

everyone else gets to fuck right off.
turn 18. serve four years. you get to say what is right or wrong for your country.
we used ask of our president's every year 'by what tenure and for which branch of military did they serve?'
and slowly the libtards attacked and eroded that stance.
then they got 0bama in there.
look where we are today.
imagine if Flynn was president.
lolwut, citizens (of age) have the right to vote.
SPEZ: Imagine being downvoted on this website for saying that US Citizens are entitled to their constitutional rights. Get the fuck out.
