[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3059208, member: 41653"] Actually, when this country was first established, that was the way it was. Sort of. Only property owners could vote. The Founding Fathers (I know, not PC, but then I'm not either) wanted people with a vested interest in the country voting. Generally, if you owned property you were educated. If not formally, then through SHK University (School of Hard Knocks). You cared about what happened, and knew enough to think things through. Back then (pre-1965 even), we were taught HOW to think, not WHAT to think. Perhaps the voters should be restricted to people not on Govt handouts. If you receive welfare, food stamps, child care assistance, whatever, no voting. The problem we have, is that the people on the Govt handout list will vote for whomever promises the biggest handout.
