in colonial times.

What would be the impact on the nation, on the economy, on the welfare of our country?

Libs, before you start calling names and embarrassing yourselves, i am not advocating, recommending or suggesting that this be done.

The question is, what would be the impact on the country if only people with a "stake" in the future of the nation were allowed to cast ballots?

Landowners tend to have more money.
People with more money tend to be smarter.
Smarter people tend to be better educated.
Better educated tend to be more informed.

A more informed, better educated electorate...a good thing?
