If the property of one individual is not up for grabs at an election this changes the whole nature of the culture. I think it was H.L. Mencken that referred to elections as an advanced auction on another's property. I don't necessarily agree that only property owners should vote. I believe that no one has a claim on anyone else's property. The need for charity for the very poor and disabled will always be there but that has and should be in the realm of the responsibility of the churches I think. G.

This might deter the government buying votes/voters. It makes you wonder if the government would be more selective with our cash flow. Probably not, but worth a thought.
