I will accept all adult male taxpayers without criminal records.
Points at Trump then at the people railroaded by prosecutors to accept bad plea deals: you sure about the criminal record requirements?
In a world where all political power was with [adult male taxpayers without criminal records], nonsense like this Trump prosecution would never have happened to begin with.
Probably still fewer false positives than not. Better to leave the rest of society to advocate for those than to add in a bunch of actual criminals. If you're going for reliability over raw numbers like that.
MARRIED FAMILIED male taxpayors. Non-transferrable. Non-delegable. No owned land requirement, but yes an intact biological family requirement.
Only people who have proven a bodily interest in the future of the country, beyond their own lifespan, should vote. That's new people. The vote should count One for each member of that intact nuclear family; not including emancipees and not including majority aged children; and no buy-ins with adoption. The husband and wife ALWAYS vote the same way, as cast by the husband, as decided between them.
The criminal record bit is too lawfare-vulnerable. Rather: incarceration/death removes the ability to get to the poles.
But we're just wishing, now.
Only tax net positives, eh? Maybe earning permanent vote after 20 years or something so the responsible retired also get to vote? In short, only the financially proven assets vote.
That sounds good, although it introduces the eventual possibility of horrifying abuse and true discrimination against the "parasites". The poor would have no voice.
No way, old people should definietly lose the vote as they age.
Other than the obvious senility issue, they don't have any stakes in the wellbeing of the country so they vote for their own special interests (other than kids, but Boomers don't evem care about that).
Who do you think was the political force behind "you're killing grandma" and "if it saves just one life"? The parents of kids being locked out of school, or literally the only demographic that was at any sort of risk?
