He's exhibit one of why we need a poll tax of a few hundred thousand dollars, and a property requirement of 500 acres.

So only farmers and those who trade land for a living can vote? That would result in a lot of farm welfare and business welfare.

500 acres?  Nobody I know would be able to vote with that requirement.

Neither would anyone I know. I thought that was the point.

I forgot to add the smilie.  In any case, I'd simply lower the requirement to 0.5 acres (I own 0.54 acres).

Oh, but the few hundred hundred thousand dollar poll tax you're fine with?

Well, would that have to be paid every time you vote, or once in a lifetime?

[ATFFL]

I have never voted in my life and don't plan on doing so either.

You have no idea how happy that makes so many of us here.
