The argument goes that that's why people abandoned Europe for America.
should i be barred from voting cause i have a palonidal cyst?
Therefore, such a voting requirement is prone to ruin the American dream.
owning shit shouldnt give you any advantage in politics
Naw just removing the senate from being a citizen vote and returning it to state appointments will do wonders
Like it was meant
Working and paying taxes or military service to vote sounds good (or having worked for a normal amount of time before retiring)
Right, the other argument goes that otherwise you're giving people without property the opportunity to participate in a system that disproportionately regulates those with property.
well you have to be fair to both sides
The issue is. There are levels. People renting tend to vote for property taxes, because they never see thetax
Education requirements are needed
Right, and people who rent apartments or facilities are biased to vote for rent controls even though rent control almost invariably fails.
still can't take away my rights as an undereducated bottom feeder
Especially if they vote in property taxes. Because they dont realize those taxes hit their property owner and they have to raise rent
fuck you very much for trying 😄
how about a system where you vote upward about issues in your current field of expertise, then the foremen of those groups tally the votes and send them in to be enacted
on whatever issue
"Foreman" sounds like some syndicalism bs
you've never worked blue collar?
I have worked blue collar all my life except military
But that sounds basically like a union run gov aka syndicalism
ill have you faggots know i voted against my own best interests because it would have been unfair policy
suck my dick
^
okay how about "manager"
Doesnt matter how you word it
walking away from the computer now <:NPC:500042735617703967>
but if it's in the interest of fairness and liberty how is it against your best interest?
It puts to much power in the hands of unions/companies
isn't that any man's best interest?
that's the entire point of the hypothetical system, is people getting more power in their votes if they're actually in the business that's affected
Fairness for someone not you or your family isnt in your own interest
but apparently that's communism
Syndicalism*
but participating in a fair system is
fairness for just one isn't fairness at all buddy
You dont have to vote without a state in communism
@Thomas the Sowell Train [USA] if you vote for something that raises your taxes but no one elses. Is that fair? And even say it is fair, is that in your own interest?
That's a strange hypothetical. Let's use something a bit more realistic.
