Sure, Roy.  Makes it so much easier to disenfranchise people!  A farmer or =
rancher needs to have (own, preferably) land.  A chemist, like me, really =
doesn't.  So why should I have to, just to vote?  A poll tax is more =
honest.  If that's the kind of democracy you want!

Democracy is democracy.  Everybody votes.  Even people you don't like.

  I'd prefer going back to only landowners can vote.  We're the
ones with a stake in the nation.
