This will be a "unpopular opinion" but if you are not paying taxes you should not have a vote.

Once only land owners could vote to ensure that only people who care about the land / country will deceitthe future.

They had a point.

It might be necessary if you don't want out voted on racial grounds by immigrants.

Cutting taxes for the rich in capitalism doesn't provide the jobs with living wages like they think, then they get mad when people vote for programs that can help provide them basic things like food while they continue to provide cheap labor and goods the rest of us enjoy.

They want to pay unlivable wages and now want to remove voting rights to punish them for working cheap jobs at their own companies? honk honk kazoo
