Right idea, wrong approach.

It should be a very simple system. The fed gov easily knows if you are a net contributor or a net drain on the system.

Only net contributors should be able to vote. Since its their money controlling the welfare of the country

That's not how loans work Skippy.

You own the deed, the bank owns the right to collect the collateral. Otherwise the bank would owe the property tax.

yes, i agree. Blackrock should have more votes than some citizens because materialism is the answer to all social problems as we are currently learning

If women lost their right to vote they'd just use their leverage to get their cuck home owning husband to vote the way they want him to vote.

And since most home owners are married, you'd change nothing. You might even accelerate the destruction.

Nah just repeal the 19th and make it so only tax-paying men over 18 can vote

require drug-tests for anyone wanting welfare
And anyone that is obese doesn’t receive any sort of social welfare
And welfare (unless actual disability not-obesity related) has a lifetime max
And re-open insane asylums

Probably more that I’m missing, but this would be a good step in the right direction

It already is that way - the most powerful group of folks in the world correlate heavily with the wealthiest (not always, of course).

Is this why you and others here are so upset? The reality check too brutal?

In the end we’re all still just rentcels from the government, we stop paying taxes and they’ll show up and have us executed if we resist enough

So basically just 40-50+ years old men and some inheritancecels? Strong logic there.

Sure, but it's a lot easier to conspire when all you have to do is buy them a mcdouble and small fries vs a whole house on real property.

I agree in principle but the horrors of the housing market means many hard working Americans cannot own a home.

Id use the following criteria:

You must have at least one of the following in place and use your actual ID to vote:

1) pay taxes for at least 10 years
2) own a home
3) served in military at least 4 years

If you do not meet any of those criteria and do not have an ID then no vote for you.

And im highly considering adding:

4) be an actual male (no tranny)

because everything has steadily declined (rapidly lately) since the 19th, so we may need to repeal that one if these dumb broads cant get their chit together.
For every man, there is a sentence, a string of words, that has the power to destroy him

Not my ideal voting solution, but I'd be fine with this as long as we limited it tonettaxpayers. I don't want to include those who have $1000 in federal taxes withheld from their Subway paycheck and then get it all back along with $12K in child tax credits.

Tell me you don't understand even basic game theory. Like even a little bit. The reason we let them vote isn't out of kindness, it's insurance. A bribe to not tear chit down. The power they have is that they have nothing to lose. Give them just enough and they'll fall in line.

If you remove poorcels representation in government and start voting against their interests, what you think will happen:
- They will quietly starve to death and no longer bother you
- They will get poverty wagecel jobs and a bootstrappy attitude


What will actually happen:
Every major city on fire


3rd world levels of crime


BREED like rabbits


One guy will have a $2B house overlooking millions of people living in squalor

This. OP is on the right track but as far as I'm concerned anyone who contributes a net positive to society should be able to have a say (or those who are retired after working full-time their whole lives).

It's the long-term students, those on welfare, part-time hospitality workers etc. that need to be cut out of the loop for the improvement of society

Meh.

Way back the people allowed to vote were male landowners. Also known as taxpayers.

Now it is near impossible to avoid paying taxes in the US. If you sleep inside a building [property tax] or purchase any goods or services you are paying taxes [sales tax].

If you want to take away women's right to vote then we should get a 100% tax exemption in exchange- no federal tax, state tax, property tax, sales tax, etc.

Anyone forced to pay should have a say, worthless though it seems to be.

Contrarily I'm perfectly okay with requiring people to get a "voting license" akin to a driver's license, meaning they have to prove they are a legal citizen AND can demonstrate a basic understanding of the political process and the federal and state government.

Gotta show your voting license to vote.

They could implement the voting tech into the cash machines

But they won’t because it’s easier to fake it using npc drone people at the voting office

Children pay sales tax and can’t vote
Felons can’t vote, even if they pay income tax and property tax
If we’re going the route of not having people pay taxes that can’t vote, then we might as well just get rid of income tax and only tax goods and services.
But while we’re there- Property taxes shouldn’t exist on a single family home, and inheritance tax shouldn’t exist either.
