YoBuckStopsHereRepublicans Are at War With College Towns. And They’re Losing.
LEDZeppelinRepublican solution: Raise the voting age and disqualify students voting in their college districts (force the students to return home to vote).
Maybe some sort of requirement that states you must own land too?
There’s been a not-single-digit amount of arguments from the right lately that only people that pay taxes should have a vote because they’re the ones putting skin into the game.
Its like no one on the right ever picked up a history book.
We did all this already. We decided as a nation that it was dumb and moved on.
ShakeThatYamIf all taxpayers can vote then a lot of young people who can’t currently vote would become eligible. Also, so would most non-citizens, including undocumented immigrants. What conservatives don’t realize is that most undocumented immigrants pay taxes (and generally get back less than they pay).
I think that the idea is likely those who have a net payment into taxes, rather than having it covered with credit or deduction. That might backfire though due to ultra wealthy tax avoidance.
