[QUOTE="Seadog, post: 3239634, member: 9018"] That’s how the framers set it up and there was a good reason for it. Like another person commented on here if you don’t have skin in the game then you shouldn’t have a say just like illegal aliens shouldn’t. It has nothing to do with being rich then or now. People that are industrious and work hard tend to more often than not have property. Weather it is your house and land a farm or just a business. Not to mention that gives you incentive. Think of this mind blown twist, voting was and still isn’t a right. It’s a privilege. There are exceptions, like invalids, handicaps, mentally challenged, or those that didn’t plan ahead and are too old or inmates. The point is it basically prevented people’s vote from being bought like they are nowadays. Not to mention you couldn’t tax land because that was taxing your vote. The overwhelming portion of the Democrat party vote for whoever gives them the most. Like I said in my previous post if we get rid of income and property tax that would pretty much neuter the Democrat party because it is what they thrive on bribing their base with. On another note, you are welcome. I’m one of those “vets” [/QUOTE]
