Personally.... (I'm on the fringe).... but I think that only land owners and prior/current military pesonnel should have the right to vote.
With the graduation rates in Detroit being 30% it would get interesting.

It really gets me about how many people complain about the wording of the amendments/revisions on the ballot... even though the actual wording is available prior to. The wording order is not simple....but the words are not obscure. What ever happened to the education of America ?(rhetorical)
Also I would tend to agree with Hamilton that unfettered democracy is anarchy. The problem with equality is that in reality people are not equal... perhaps they are born equal, but equality does not perpetuate.

Not to worry if you make $250,000 your taxes will not go up one cent. Or was that $200,000, no I think now it's $150,000, no it's now $120,000 and your taxes will not go up one cent. The new definition of "Wealth" $120,000/year. We are all in trouble and only have ourselves to blame.
You missed the latest quote. Or it may not be the latest, but it was a later one. Down to $97,000 for a family. He said that those families making over 97K are among the top 6% of wealth earners. Should not be a problem to pay higher taxes.

I think it comes from this ... YouTube - Obama: families making $97,000 are "upper class" and should pay more taxes

It gets past most people that the country has not always paid income tax. Its unconstitutional to tax individuals wages as it is a fair trade, but most people don't care. The high court ruled on it and like always, the government just does not care.
