More proof that the Founding Fathers made a mistake when they did not define voting as a privilege extended only to those in the military or those who are actual taxpayers.

I think there was no way they could have forseen the level of dependency we have now.

extended only to those in the military or those who are actual taxpayers. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you have to be a property owner at that time to vote?

That is really not a bad idea at all. Wasn't it the intent that only property owners were to be eligible to vote? Regardless, there needs to be some common-sense restrictions we can start by doing away with early voting, same day registration/voting and non-verifiable ID voting.
Absentee ballots to military a must and other absentee (bona fide) ballots okay. It's totally out of hand, fraud is rampant and the election (if truth be known) was stolen as cynical laughter erupts from talking heads on the news (actual occurrance) reporting voter fraud suspicion.

Well considering there were no tax payers from the electorate it could be why they didn't see it. But not to throw the point out. The mistake is either, pass a civics test or show verification of employment. I dont think they ever saw the govt taking care of people either.

Wasn’t there a time when this nation was defined as a republic and only landowners could vote?

We need to pass a new welfare reform bill, (if conservatives ever have the majority again), If you are on public assistance, you loose the right to vote. The only way you can regain it is to go off public assistance.

More proof that the Founding Fathers made a mistake when they did not define voting as a privilege extended only to those in the military or those who are actual taxpayers.Actually, the Founding Fathers extended the vote only to male property owners.
Subsequent modifications to that was a mistake.
