Recently I’ve heard republicans support two things. Only property owners should be allowed to vote and you should have to pass a test. they know millions less would vote if they could do these things.
I've long thought that it wasn't fair for someone with no skin in the game (no job) to be able to vote for someone who would raise my income taxes. You don't have to own property in my mind to vote, but you do need to be employed or have some kind of income, even disability. SOMETHING that you pay income taxes on to put you in the same boat as the people you're voting to raise income taxes on.
I mean if I got no job WTF does it matter to me if I vote for someone who will raise income taxes on those suckers who actually go to work, ya know? It's no different than you not having a vote on the board of a company if you don't own stock in it. You have no skin in the game.
