Perhaps allowing only married women to vote would be appropriate, in consultation and with the agreement of their husband, this would encourage marriage and also boost the voting power of that critical foundation of society, the married couple.
I am only typing this to irritate shills, but I am also serious, even though it appears unfair, I think its a mistake to see voting as an individual right, better as a social good, that should only be given to people with a stake. I also agree that receipt from the state should pause your voting privileges until you are self supporting.
This all comes from the desire to have a system of voting and a structure to society that is generative, it doesn't come from a desire to take from people, quite the opposite..
I already do that instead of donating to “charity”. Free babysitting for a friend when she was trying to find a better job, restaurant or grocery store gift cards when money’s tight and food is running low…that’s how it should be. None of this government handout BS.
But were we ever really at a point where the majority of people who needed help were getting it from private donations?
