Disagree. If someone pays a shitload in taxes because they're a high earner, but chooses to rent, they shouldn't lose their vote. It should be that only net contributors to the Federal treasury, minus SS recipients, should be allowed to vote in Federal elections. No representation without taxation.

People with skin the game should be the voters.

Land owners
Business owners
Married couples with children
Veterans & Active Military Personnel

If you restricted voting to just these groups, it would be much better.

Should be limited to net tax contributors: Those who pay in more than they get out

That's a pretty short sighted idea. This isn't 1776 anymore. There are many folks that don't own land but participate in the work force and pay taxes.
I would agree that anyone on welfare shouldn't vote, as they make no contribution to the funding of our government.

you can subdivide real estate in pretty much unlimited increments.


You can have a thousand people own an interest in one acre.

That's a terrible idea.

Only people destroying the environment should vote on the environment? That doesn't make sense.

Why? If you owned a business would give everyone a vote on business decisions?


I think his/her point may go more towards you could a huge net income tax payer, but maybe you just own some high rise apartment/condo in Houston or Chicago. You’re not an actual landowner.

Some people are actual landowners and receive way more money from government than they pay income taxes.

At a minimum only land owners should have a vote on property taxes.....nobody should be able to vote for others to pay more. Oh wait, thats the Democrat platform's primary promise.
