Before the 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920, several states allowed women to vote. I recall seeing a study on comparative state spending between the period just before women suffrage came in and the period immediately following. The conclusion was unmistakable: women suffrage correlated strongly with increased state spending and more bloated state governments.

When women began voting nationally, the large majority of woman voters were married and voted pretty much as their husbands did. But in the last thirty to forty years or so, with more unmarried women and more women reliant on Big Brother, there has been a noticeable "gender gap" in the presidential vote, with women significantly more likely to vote Democrat.

If I'm not mistaken, no Democrat in a presidential race has won the men's vote since Lyndon Johnson! So it's reasonable to think that the country would have been spared quite a number of left-leaning policies had it not been for the Nineteenth Amendment.

Actually, Clinton won a plurality of the male vote in 1992 (when Perot did much better among men than among women), and I think that Obama carried the male vote in 2008. But, yes, Democrats have a big problem with male voters.

Wasted away again in Margaritaville,

Searchin’ for my lost shaker of salt.

Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame,

Now I think, - hell it could be my fault.

Although I am a Woman, and have been voting since 1970, I sincerely DO understand where Rev Jesse is coming from. There is a passage in Isaiah that a judgement from God will come when “Women choose your rulers”. Conservative Women vote well and help elect conservative leaders. However, with the demographics of the country leaning more and more to welfare mothers, single mothers, and entitlement divas, the natural tendency of these people will be to vote for a “Sugar daddy” for their government. “Landowners” being the only ones who can vote is really not practical either, as most land and property is actually mortgaged and belongs to the Bank.

I think the idea of taxpayers getting the franchise, whether male, female, white, black., or whatever, is the best idea. And since folks on Social Security pay taxes on that, they will not be disenfranchised.

Just my humble opinion...and BTW, Rev Jesse sounds like he has had a stroke...just sayin’.
