The United States of American went off the tracks when they allowed non land owners to vote. We have been on a pathway to failure since people who have no skin in the game have voted to empty the treasury. 17 trillion in debt hundreds of trillions in future liabilities means only one thing , printing dollars until we default. When the world stops taking dollars the game is over.
Been through this debate before: "We are endowed by our Creator" means born with the right to vote upon proper age. However, I completely understand your sentiments.
