Democracy only works with smart people who have a vested interest in the nation. When you open voting to everybody the people soon find out they can vote their way into the treasury, and the elites can engage in the contest of who can manipulate the most dumb people. Remember that 51% decides and election and 50% of people are below average intelligence. To their cretid. If we only extended voting rights based on the founders intentions we wouldn't be in this conundrum.</blockquote>
