As time goes by I am convinced more and more that only those who are
verifiable US citizens and who are 25 to 55 should be able to vote in
any election in the USA. If you are under 25 you haven't really got a
clue as to what is going on in the world and how it affects you and once
you are over 55 all you want to do is make the rest of your life
comfortable on someone else's back. As far as non-US citizens go I
really don't care what they think, what they want or whether they are
happy.
I'd like to add to that, If you don't pay Federal income taxes, you
should not be able to vote and say how the money is spent.
FICA is a retirement and disability payment, it does NOT count.
I will make some exceptions, military personnel, social security
recipients, although not those that got it without paying into the
system. Open to a few others.
