    Best idea yet. No property, no ownership in the country so no vote.

    And the value of that property must be over $1 million dollars on the tax roles.

    Studies indicate correlation between home ownership and more conservative voting habits.

    Making home ownership a requirement would not be conducive to effective representation, as home ownership can be monopolized. I believe it already is, to an extent, given that the average price of residencial property has risen 1000% relative to average income since the 1950s.

    However, substantially increasing the rate of home ownership (by either increasing available residencial land by openning up land currently locked away in federal ownership, or decreasing costs by offering more mortgage aid programs) would likely result in more responsible voting practices.

    Seems needless, but whatever floats your boat.

    I'm skeptical

    What’s the problem? Can’t you meet minimum requirements to vote? You seem to have no problem coming up with rules about who can vote, but get all freaky when other people get to make the rules.

    You’re cute.

    So a guy who employed 10 people, but who rented his work space and his condo, would not be able to vote under your plan. And you honestly think you could sneak that past the courts?

    200 years from now, libs will have given the right to vote in American elections to Africans who never left Africa. Sudan will have 3 electoral votes.

    The future is bleak.

    Pssst. I'm gonna tell you a secret. Don't tell anyone else, though. Ready? There's more to this country than houses.

    Mind blowing, huh?

    It is possible to care about the rights of others. Go boo-hoo to your pseudo-fascist buddies. Ignored . . . for being incapable or unwilling to engage in honest discussion and debate. Shame. I seem to remember a couple of good conversations before now.

    So does every renter. You don’t think their rent is paying for the property taxes of their domicile?

    Their rent is paying more than that I hope, or the landlord is a moron.

    The renter has zero skin in the game, from an ownership standpoint. If and when you own, you are more vested in the community, and less likely to be solely focused on self.

    I predict the future based on past trends.

    It’s not difficult to do.
