Should the voting requirements be raised?

[A18]

Yes.

This sounds like an attempt to supress the vote of the poor uneducated.

The poor uneducated shouldn't be voting. They don't contribute anything to government, and will 90% of the time just vote for welfare.

Then they have no right to have their vote influence my life by seizing my property or infringing upon the economic liberties of the population.

American citizenship does not make one entitled to my property or anyone else's.

That's sick

I agree. It's sick that these people are actually able to vote.

I wasn't born rich. And yes, everyone can know who George Washington is.

[A18]

Uh, yes, I would.

Did you read this topic? We're talking about making voters take a test to make sure they know basic facts, such as who the first president is.

Alcon said that would be surpressing the poor, uneducated vote, to which I responded, they have no business voting. If someone can't name George Washington, I don't trust him with my liberty.

[A18]

Read the topic. We were talking about poor uneducated people who didn't know who George Washington was.

As for who the lower class supported a month ago, let's look at the data.

Income--

Under $15,000 (8%)
Bush  36%
Kerry  63%   

$15-30,000 (15%)
Bush  42%
Kerry  57%

$30-50,000 (22%)
Bush  49%
Kerry  50%

$50-75,000 (23%)
Bush  56%
Kerry  43%   

$75-100,000 (14%)
Bush  55%
Kerry  45%   

$100-150,000 (11%)
Bush  57%
Kerry  42%

$150-200,000 (4%)
Bush  58%
Kerry  42%

$200,000 or More (3%)
Bush  63%
Kerry  35%

[A18]

If you don't believe the figures, go look them up yourself. It's a well known fact that Bush is strongly supported by the upper class, whereas Kerry is strongly supported by the lower class.

[A18]

I don't. That's why I'm speaking out against the fascist theft of property by an uneducated minority.
