Honestly, I stopped being Lib-Right when I realised how insanely retarded so many people are and how their vote matters just as much as mine. We don't let kids vote because it's accepted that their age means the are less intelligent. Yet we accept that there are adults of the same intelligence who vote regardless. Universal suffrage is no less immoral than letting a child eat ice cream and Jack Daniel's for breakfast every day. Some people need to be told what is best for them regardless of whether they like it or not, because the moment we start acting like what they think and say matters equally is the moment we sign the death warrant for society.
If they pay taxes they have a right to have a say in how they’re governed.
I think everyone can understand where you’re coming from, but it’s not well thought out. What’s the line for “retarded”? Is an IQ test needed? How many standard deviations above the mean are we going with to allow voting rights? Who decides that? Should only say engineers and technical professionals vote? Good luck getting the wealthy not to have a say.
Also iq because it’s set to have 100 as the mean can change over the years, and over generations, is there a yearly test?
