Should voting be limited to people who are contributing to, or have contributed to society?
No.

Do you see voting as a privilege, or, as a right that is guaranteed by the constitution?
While there is no explicit, affirmative right to vote in the Constitution, nonetheless it is without question an unenumerated constitutional right. I believe it important though to affirmatively enshrine a right to vote via amendment.

Only requirement to vote should be that you are currently a U.S. citizen and have a valid government issued ID and are registered to vote.
I'm ok with convicted felons voting so long as they have already served their sentence including parole. If you are still on parole or in prison, you should not be eligible to vote IMO.

So, educated state employees and teachers who do not qualify to pay into Social Security would be excluded? Your statement was based on ignorance!

In order to vote, you should have to have valid photo ID and last year's W-2.

Voting should be limited to adults who have not been convicted of a felony, are of sound mind and can prove their identity.
I would add that it is only available to persons 18-65 who are employed or own real property.
and anyone over 65

This is my understanding. There are equal protection and discrimination protections. But not the explicit right to vote

State employees, myself included, will have a pension. Those pension disbursements will be taxed as income; therefore, they will be net contributors to the treasury.

I forgot to add that you should have to pass a basic civics test.

You think you're clever but this is how your plan would actually unfold once you handed it over to Democrats:
Remove voting rights from all felons. Make being racist or supporting the Jan 6 coup a felony. Use big tech to link anonymous online comments to real names.

I’m all for a limited franchise Starship Troopers style. “Service guarantees citizenship.”

What if you were convicted of a crime that is highly political in nature?

Tell me why your vote should count for as much as Jeff Bezos's vote? He has much more skin in the game than you.
