I would prefer that, in regard to elections, we run the country like all successful corporations are run. Only stockholders, those who actually have some financial investment in the company, vote. Thus, only actual income tax payers (Those who actually have some investment in the country) should be allowed to vote.

Our system, as it is, allows the freeloaders to vote and they do so by voting for whomever will give them more freebies.

To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, no country can survive for long once the "voters" learn that they can vote themselves freebies.

You going to tell your retired mother/father/grandmother/grandfather they shouldn't vote? With deductions, they are most likely 47% people.
