I'll start off I suppose. The right to vote is bullshit. You should have to earn it.
I agree. There are several avenues that one could take to earn the right to vote. One is to serve in some capacity in the military. The idea being that if you were not willing to defend the Republic why should you be allowed to participate in its governence? A second way would be to pay taxes. If we went to a "Fair Tax" that would include almost everyone since the tax would be paid on your purchases. As long as its based on your income why should you be allowed to vote to create the need for taxes if you don't pay any?
