...I want to go farther....American citizens who can prove that they made a positive tax contribution....not a negative one....
...skin in the game, as they say...
...if you are living on welfare, your votes don't count.

Our forefathers had the insight to only allow land-owners to vote. I believe Jefferson spoke of the fall of the Roman Empire as testament, that if we went to a true-democracy, eventually, the voters would vote the country out of business, so to speak.
I will take you one even further, and say that I agree with the original voting laws, and ONLY land-owners should be able to vote.
This, to my understanding was abolished, because many citizens were not allowed to own land (women for one) in certain states. This wouldn’t be a problem now, everyone of every sex, creed or color can own land.
Again... skin in the game
