Democracy is the best of all possible bad choices. Although the founders had it right when they limited to the vote to only taxpayers.

I thought for a while you were smarter than that.
A true democracy is not good...nothing more than mob rule.
A democratic republic is good.

That should be a criterion for voting today. A U.S. Citizen that ACTUALLY PAYS TAXES can vote.Democracy is the best of all possible bad choices. Although the founders had it right when they limited to the vote to only taxpayers.

It was more restrictive than that. Landholders only.

The Founders limitation on who could vote went a whole lot further than that.
BTW - conditioning the vote on paying a tax is unconstitutional and hence un-American.

That would put a substantial number of today's voters out in the cold. Obama would have lost the election.

It is now! But it was once felt that only stakeholders got a say. That meant male landowners. Slaves didn't pay taxes and women didn't fight in wars so they had no stake in where the tax funds went. If women were allowed to vote in 1776, they'd vote for free spinning wheels for all.
