[Servant of the 9]

The foundiong fathers never intended universal suffrage. Originally it was restricted to free white male property owners.

The property/income restriction should still be around.
No Representation without Taxation is just as important as the reverse.

Well said.

Actually, suffrage was a matter for the states to determine and a few in New England allowed blacks who met the property requirements to vote at the time of the constiution.

That's what I was thinking as I read this screed. I wonder if the good professor (ret.) would agree that those that earn their living off the state should not be allowed to vote themselves monies from the state?
