    Most Democrats will tell you they want "traditional America" to fail (because America is a bunch of racists who devised a way to keep rich people rich and poor people poor). The argument now is whether that's the correct path or not (socialism vs capitalism and tyranny vs freedom). What disturbs me is that about half the country prefers socialism and tyranny.

    And that's the half that shouldn't be allowed to vote to begin with as they don't pay any taxes nor do they own property. And probably a quarter to a third of that half doesn't speak english. JMHO

    Don't hold the lack of owning property against anyone.

    Most government revenue comes from property taxes. So yes, hold it against those who don't own any but benefit from others.

    No. In case you haven't noticed, property is the reason we are in this mess. It's too damn expensive for people to buy even the shabbiest of places. Paying income taxes is enough to have a right to vote. Actually, just being a citizen. The amount of taxes should never matter.

    Buy some property (house, land or commercial) pay yearly taxes on it. And then have others that don't have any of the mentioned vote against issues that effect you, your investment and how much more tax they want from you and your tune will change quick.

    It should not be. However, voters would don't own property should not allowed to tax against it.

    That I'm cool with. Any time property taxes are up, only those that own property should be able to vote for or against them. That is different than saying people shouldn't have a right to vote at all since they don't own property.
