As a woman that owns property, I agree. Actually the argument is a sound one. Property owners actually have a stake in their area, county, state whatever. They have skin in the game, so these policies, good or bad, directly effect the worth of that stake. Which is how it used to work way back when this was still a republic
Landowners only? What's to stop the billionaires from buying all the land in the next 100 years then never letting it get out of their family? Then only the billionaires can vote. Landowners only is AMAZING for the rich and the elite.
But you said with someone else you agree. Do you not see the obviously slippery slope here? You don't think poor people have any stake in the game and shouldn't have a say?
What's to stop rich people from bussing in a bunch of poor immigrants who will vote for them ? You know like what they're literally doing now with our bs voting system.
My point is there is not a system we could dream up that an psychopathic oligarchy won't corrupt.
So ima stick with the founding fathers original idea that you shouldnt vote if you don't have skin in the game. Just on principle alone.
Landowners ONLY.

What a dumb idea.
I meant that's not my idea that was the founding fathers original concept. So you can take it up with them.
But you said with someone else you agree. Do you not see the obviously slippery slope here? You don't think poor people have any stake in the game and shouldn't have a say?
Ridiculous.
