Limit to only those that pay net positive taxes.

Even better, go back to land owners only. No land, no stake.

35 year old land owners who pay net taxes.

Imagine what would be possible without people voting themselves other peoples' money. Maybe there would be some gratitude.

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't end well as it opens a HUGE opportunity for abuses.

>go back to land owners only. No land, no stake

So, how do you see this work in practice? Will there be a minimum? A residency requirement? Would owning a square foot qualify me but owning an apartment wouldn't? How would you make sure that land owners' votes aren't sold to interested parties, in other words, that landowners aren't paid off to vote a certain way)? Would owning more land give you more votes?

Eminent domain and property taxes bitches. What do you own? You rent from the gov.

In theory, bill gates could disenfranchise everyone that way. Not a good idea.

16 year olds are literally the worst fucking people in the world to be making decisions about anything, especially decisions that affect the fucking government....

As are 18 year olds. The left's logic is an 18 year old isn't old enough to understand the responsibility and consequences of student loans. How can they expect them to understand the responsibility of informed voting?
