Poll taxes and tests
There was a reason that in the begining the founders allowed only landed people or people of wealth to vote. Fair or not those are the people that would have to pay the taxes if they are inacted by the representatives and so for several dozens of years there wasnt much tax on the people of this country. In the past we have had poll taxes and literacy tests. Fair or not that allowed only those of means (who would bear the taxes) to vote and only those of intelligence enough to support themselves and understand, perhaps, our government's original meaning and read and understand the Constitution. Now let me through gas in the this fire, there was a reason that women were not allowed to vote originally but I wont go further there. And finallly nowdays I would suggest that another "test" be added to those who vote and those who would inflict government on us in Washington and that would be a pee test! Note that in none of this did I suggest anything racial if Alan Keyes runs I will vote for him, if Condelesa Rice were to run for office I would vote for her, same for Bobby Jendal (sp), or J.C. Watts or a woman of Margie Thatchers positions. I will vote for whomever will cut governmemt intervention, less governmenmt lower taxes, national defense, and efficient government! I am sick of what this country is becoming and PC BS.!
