Only land owners should be allowed to vote.

I would say: Only citizens who pay federal income taxes should be allowed to vote; also active duty and retired military personnel, whether or not they earn enough to pay taxes.

There is only a finite amount of land available for ownership, and I would not deny the vote to anyone who works hard and positively contributes to our nation.

that’s primitive.

but we really should outlaw motor voter registrations, programs to asssist people to register, and voter registration advertisment campaigns.

Renters pay their landlord’s property taxes but get no deduction for it.

Voting should be reverted back to its original intent. You do not read about non-slave-owning moochers voting in the late 1770s!

"Only land owners should be allowed to vote."

Why stop there?


/Sarcasm off

People who want to limit which citizens can vote and which can't shouldn't be allowed to vote!
