not sure really. it would have to be decided. maybe 1/4 acre or larger, or so many pct holdings in a company. so much stock perhaps

So basically middle class or higher…And homeowners who don’t own house’s on city lots.

no not basically that.

it’s not hard to own property, of many forms

check your indoctrinated class envy at the forum door please

[Ben_Natuf]

nope, if you want to mail it in its your responsibility to mail it out in time for it to arrive on time. and why should i pay for their stamp? do they pay for my gas?

@thinkingman

what did i “dodge” now?

Was a simple question…Would you ban gun ownership for those with same criminal past or just ban them from voting?

We are all citizens of the globe.

There is NO Global Government thus no global citizens

doesnt have to be a lot of property

Okay… then what’s the line?

$1? $10? $100?

How much property?

not sure really. it would have to be decided. maybe 1/4 acre or larger, or so many pct holdings in a company. so much stock perhaps

I could start a company tomorrow. It wouldn’t do anything.

But it would be a company.

Could I vote?

@thinkingman

check your indoctrinated class envy

Lol…Check your class superiority at the door…I owned a house on a city lot, paid the taxes etc…City lots are smaller than a 1/4 acre…guess its no vote for city home owners

do you still think this is all “stupid?”

[Jezcoe]

@thinkingman

because they have no stake in the outcome of elections.

Well… that is a load of ■■■■■■■■ right there…. Especially when we are talking about certain laws getting passed in Texas these days.

Yeah I do.

The premise of it is based on that property owners have no stake…. Which is 100% false.

These rules are pretty arbitrary though.

What monetary value of stocks would one have to own to be allowed to vote? Or would a share in a penny stock be enough?

[Scratch]

@thinkingman

oh that. yeah i didnt dodge that. i flat out refused to address it.

And why is that?.. It’s obvious it’s a double standard on your part.

dang. i would have enjoyed engaging with you in these ideas otherwise

Convince me that restricting the vote to property owners isn’t stupid.

I am trying to work out where the line of demarcation is for who is and who would be prohibited from voting in your scenario.

So far I got a 1/4 acre of land. That is a definitive answer.

An ownership in a company… it is squishy on if the company had to do anything or if it makes a profit.

Ownership of stocks but we have not seen anything about monetary value. Would a single share of anything suffice?

i’ve somewhat highjacked the topic a bit not intentionally. so to address Abbott’s signing of this bill, i am very pleased. it’s a start.

we must maintain all due vigilance in such an impt aspect of this woefully wayward fledgling republic. so many nefarious influences are in play so it wont be easy to keep this honest at this point in human existence

Well … to save the Republic we must limit who can vote…… or something.

nothing i’m proposing confirms his posts

No, Tommy was spot on. You think there should be citizens and special citizens that can vote. I guess some animals are more equal than others in your eyes.

no not anti-poor. if you own property you have the best chance at growing wealth utilizing the natural resources. property can take various forms not just land. renters - sorry. need to get some property to vote. i’m flexible in my philosophy on this one though

I hope you’re flexible. Lots of retirees choose to rent instead of own, many more prosperous than you.

done cheerleading for tommy?

That’s a weird response. Care to address your notion of property requirements for voting and how that might effect senior citizens?
