Didn't say no one has. I also didn't say everyone 24 has.

Most 24-year-olds have.

What about military? You think they should have no say? The idea that college graduates who are long past adulthood should have no say in the executive branch is rather asinine, especially since many are taxpayers.

Are you going to abstain from gubernatorial elections until you turn 24?

No. I think that's what the requirement should be, but the rules don't change for me.

They have a say in the legislative branch. Anyway, it's only one gubernatorial election they're missing out on.

No, you wouldn't have to own 1/5 on acre of land to vote. Just in one branch of the state legislature.

Why? So that NYC could get more screwed?

So people outside of NYC could get less screwed

Alternate system: give everyone 1 vote for every percentage of their income they pay, mulitplied by three

NYC subsidizes the rest of the country, and then gets hardly any anti-terrorism money, even though they are the ones who were attacked, and rural Wyoming gets tons of anti-terrorism money. Why exactly should we screw NYC some more?

What about slaves counting as 3/5ths of a person? Do you support that too?

Millionares subsidize poor people.

I don't support slavery. But as long as they were there, they shouldn't have counted as a person (because they can't vote).

Millionares wouldn't have sh**t without the working poor and the government.

In my ideal system, only intelligent people would be allowed to vote. Republican landslide, 100%.

Wouldn't Libertarians win sometimes too? Wink
