I'm mostly OK with the idea of only land owners that are debt free vote.

But, yes, eliminating voting privileges for those who are on the government teat, including the parasites that are working for directly or by contract, would help turn the tide back to a bit of sensibility, even if it's not a complete cure.

Love the gov employees don’t vote part.

Voting being limited to land owners doesn’t work for me.

Some of the most competent people I know pay a lot in taxes and don’t own land because they are in a city, and move a good bit for work.

That's the point. If you're not rooted in a place, your interests are in conflict with those that have lived "right" to acquire land and then pay it off. They should not be able to force those who have much longer time preferences and are better at staying out of debt into positions where those things are undermined.

The no debt part is to knock out all the speculative pricks from doing others dirty like are being done now.

i think voting should be restricted to who is paying tax, which means you can volunteer to do it in exchange for a say

the weight of votes should be considered equal, obviously if you volunteer to give 0.1% of your income why should you get any more vote than someone who puts 10%? how do you even quantify that without violating privacy?

Probably a result of them being responsible peeps in a broken system

I guarantee if this was enacted then the majority of those folks would own land. And be useful on it.

Big centralized govts doesn’t like land owners, inheritance; essentially, anything that causes you to need it less.
