Who’s butt****ing the constitution? There is nothing in the constitution that prohibits restricting who can vote.
The fact that you only want a certain economic bracket of the country to vote goes against the basis on which this country was founded.
Maybe you and Jxn can move to your own island and vote between the two of you who gets to be the power bottom.
Actually restricting voting to certain economic brackets would be returning to the basis on which this country was founded.
You should have taken a history class or 2
Ha Ha, how many of the people you sell that property to would then trade it for a joint or a hit this weekend? You are correct that there would be people that would be willing to sacrifice something to vote...and they should but, if you had to own property for a year to vote there's a lot of people that would never trade even a small sum of money for that opportunity.Then you'd catch people like me selling property off my land by the square foot.
I can go with women voting, I think the 19th amendment was a mistake but what's done is done.
This country will go the way of the Roman Empire unless we make changes in who is eligible for citizenship and to vote.
I don't see it happening. The Roman Empire's downfall came with it's vast spanse. No civilization is meant to man that many borders. We'll be just fine. We built this country on immigration and shaping it on the backs of people coming here for opportunity.
Germanic incursions is not what felled the Roman Empire, it was internal rot.
And to your earlier post, the US over a million square miles larger than the Roman Empire was at it's peak.
