If you are receiving welfare benefits, free housing, etc. you shouldn’t be allowed to vote because you’ve been accepting bribes. Most people don’t even realize for the first 60-70 years only landowners with so many cattle were allowed to vote.
I, as someone who does not own land or have much wealth at all, would happily give up my right to vote if it meant only allowing land owners to vote, as the Founding Fathers intended.
Then you are putting your own selfish need to feel important over the good of the country and yourself. The first several decades of this country's existence were the best, before they expanded the vote. Fact of the matter is that more selective voter criteria will greatly alleviate the problem of politicians buying votes with the People's own money. You being unable to accept that and help it be realized shows that you are just as selfish as all the masses voting for handouts. Your own selfishness will prevent the change you desperately seek and you are blind to it.
Edit: Also look how the current system is working. Your vote already doesn't count and merely serves to placate you and discourage you from taking meaningful action against a completely corrupted political system. Trump won the 2020 vote by a landslide so the government that universal suffrage voted in decided "fuck the People and fuck the election. We'll make up our own result, even though its mathematically impossible." Yeah, you having an imaginary vote doesn't mean jack shit. Better to keep your meaningless vote than actually fix the problem because the solution will make you "feel" less important.
China did buy something like 130k acres next to one of our military bases in Texas a year ago. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, these fucks are buying up land around the world.
Exactly. There's a good amount of people (on both sides, and in this case good is measure of amount, not morals) that own stuff. They may not own land-based property, but they own physical goods that contribute to net worth. That's not property then? So fuck people for investing where/when they can or into what they want?
So yeah, everyone should vote, even if they're idiots, so we can educate them to think for themselves.
Anyone that receives federal money should not have a say, including any organizations the person is tied to. So Gates should not be able to vote himself largesse.
There is a reason shareholders who invested massive ammounts have influence in a company's doings, while the average customer who can just choose another shop within mouse kicks doesn't.
Why does someone who has invested millions into land and country has the same political influence as miss food stamps who contributes jack shit? That doesn't make sense.
The founding fathers had it right. If you don't own land/have a stake in this country, you don't have any business deciding who runs it.
If you are receiving welfare benefits, free housing, etc. you shouldn’t be allowed to vote because you’ve been accepting bribes. Most people don’t even realize for the first 60-70 years only landowners with so many cattle were allowed to vote.
But MSNBC says requiring skin in the game is uNaMeRiCan
MSNBC can suk deez nuts

I will never give up my right to vote under any circumstances.

Buy real property then.otherwise yes.too many people with no steak voting.
I had lots of steak, then I ate it.
I think China owns our land and cattle now.

because cattle are destroying the ozone layer, your vote shouldn't count.

Idiots voting may have something to do with how we got here.
Net taxpayer is a different restriction, that makes a lot of sense IMHO.
You dont own cattle? Wtf are u doing with ur life sir
Get it together?
And then Bill Gates buys all the land in America and we're right back where we started.....
I actually agree with having to have a stake, although land ownership might not be the best metric.
He still only gets one vote.
And the 2024 election is won by Kamala Harris by a unanimous vote; 1-0.
Most popular President ever!!!!
Lmao Bill Gates has the deciding vote and he picks Kamala instead of himself. That sounds about right. That guy is a cuck
Until he gives the statutory minimum amount of land to a significant number of his cronies.
No worries him and his big balloon are turning off the sun now.thanks Sweden.
Anyone that receives federal money should not have a say, including any organizations the person is tied to. So Gates should not be able to vote himself largesse.
Well nobody should be receiving Federal money in the first place. That stuff is reserved for the States to decide internally.
At least that's how it's supposed to work.
IMO the poll tax is one of the few forms of taxation that is somewhat moral.
If we eliminated all other forms of taxation and prevented their future introduction....
Then funded the government entirely by poll taxes, I can guarantee the government would get a lot closer to the vision of its founders.
