Many states have special requirements for 16 year olds getting a driver’s license. What about doing the same regarding 18 year olds and voting? You can’t vote unless your are either 21 years old OR...18 years old and either serving in the military or self-supporting with your own employment and owing no government loans? Remember that the original reason for allowing 18 year olds to vote was that 18 year olds were being drafted into the military. (As an aside, given gender equality, why do only males have to register when they are 18?)

Actually, I have proposed that anyone receiving government money in any form be banned from voting. There would be an exemption to this for active duty military and those retired from military service but if you belong to a government union or are receiving any form of government payments then no voting for you.

I see this as the only way to avoid those who receive largess from voting themselves an increase
