Citizens that are net income tax payers get two votes and maybe more than two depending on how much in income taxes they pay
While I have sympathy for that idea, it is not what I consider the most applicable to the current problem we face.
We are allowing out nation to be outvoted by alien interests -
I favor giving a voting advantage to families - those who have at least enough children to equal the replacement rate.
It could be that every voter be given a 'fitness' quality that describes their commitment to the future of the nation and respect for its history:
- how this could be achieved is beyond my ken - but something needs be done to protect the good that our nation has achieved and promote the odds that it will continue to do good for the population rather than 'selected manifestations' of "current feelings''

If you don't pay any taxes your vote should count for less.
I should have more say as to how my taxes are spent vs. those who are getting free abortions and eating steak while on welfare.
Imagine actually downvoting this.

We have enough trouble keeping 1 vote per person from fraud. Getting into ratios would be impossible to keep secure. I simply think voting should be banned for anyone on welfare.

I appreciate the idea behind the idea. But then it would become weighted based on how much you pay in taxes- which could be a slippery slope.

I thought you meant they have to stand on a scale before voting. That would take out half of the white male population!!

I love this idea. Votes for right wing candidates should be worth 1/6 as much. It’s a great idea.
You really are a moron
So this should only be applied in favor of your chosen candidates? If we are making some people’s votes worth more than others, why can’t the votes for my favored candidates carry the extra weight?
This is just another circle jerk discussion among morons who understand that their ideas are not winning in the marketplace.

Why don’t we just make you register to vote in advance so we can double-check that you belong in that precinct, demand that you bring a state-issued photo ID on Election Day to prove you’re really you, and then only allow you to cast your vote on that one, single day? I know it’s a pipe dream, but I would just be happy with that.

That’s not why
They just don’t live the same lives early on as we do
We have to look good and get a career, they can choose to just look good if they want

I'd rather have married women with children voting than childfree soy boys.

Tale as old as time. GOP trying to limit voting/voters.
Why do you care? It’s not like the elites in your party trust the suckers that support them to make the “right” choice. Look at your primaries? When was the last time you’ve actually elected the candidate favored by the people?

Everyone pays taxes. How are you unaware of this?
If the taxes a person pays is sales tax on stuff they get with public assistance and gubmint handouts, they are not paying taxes. That is taxpayers paying taxes with money that has already been taxed.

If you don't own property, you should be barred from voting in property tax elections.
This kind of thing is why I don’t even bother to register to vote.
My entire life has been transitory when it comes to location. It’s not right for me to move in, have a say in what happens for the people, then move away only to repeat the process.
I am better than the stinking locust swarm DimProgFilth and am not going to disrupt the local communities as I travel.
It helps that I don’t choose to live in urban areas and also make sure the majority are conservative so my vote for the popular issues would just be stat padding. Plus I am on enough government lists already.

If votes were just actually counted 1 for 1 it wouldn’t matter. The filth couldn’t win anything.

If veteran benefits DQ from a full vote then what's the point of defending said democracy?

This is exactly my opinion, and glad to see not the only one that would respond this way.
I would even go as far as saying govt employees don't pay taxes either.
