Furthermore, I am not necessarily in favor of letting everyone
vote.....I
think that you need to have a vested interest.......i.e. only property
owners should vote on whether to increase property taxes.



That's a good little Nazi! Make sure that people who are allowed to
vote fit YOUR agenda.....

There needs to be some compromise Harry. People who have been working all
their lives investing in property as their retirement have been **** on in
this country. We are exposed to lawyers because our investment is not in
a 401K or home and we have to carry massive amounts of insurance. Three
times our net worth because we are lawyer bait.

If that is the fault of the gouvernment, go vote for a party that wants to
do something about that. (You can't because your duopoly system makes sure
that both parties are exactly the same and only intend to push the other
party to the extremes.)

AND we are being taxed to death without fair representation.
tax does not equal representation for a long time, and to my knowledge it
never has in the US.

I have property in three countys and can only vote in one countys local
election.
Do I understand you correctly that because you have more property than
average, you claim you should have more representation? What part of 'one
man one vote' don't you understand? (yup, women have votes too)

How do I insure the other two countys are being run efficently or honest.
You can't. you can buy property, but you cannot buy democratic rights.
You can buy all your property in one county. that would 'solve' your
dilemma.

I pay taxes for schools and have no children, I pay for county services on
vacant land, I pay for emergency services and a fire department for vacant
land.

So could we change the laws to allow me to vote for county offices in
countys where I own property?

No, I would propose a law where the county can disown any property not owned
by its residents

Also, I'd like to see the ballet non-standardized so that at a minimum
people would have to be able to read the name to properly vote. That to me
is a fair compromise with those who would require a minimum standard to
vote. Otherwise a vote is bought with money or lies. If the voter is not
bright enough to tell when they are being lied to they most likely can't
read.

Sure, and i suppose it is their own fault that they can't read properly.
Have you ever tought abouth howcome you have so many functional illiterates
in a country with forced schooling?
Your btw, is a thinly veiled attack on the rights of the poor and
disadvantaged. Considering your wealthy status, I can see why you'd want to
do that. But don't call your country a democracy anymore then, ok?

Before you step in it, think about your answer.

I did. I think it is wasted on you, as it will not change your mind. It just
gives me some munition to laugh about your country when the marching and
razzia's start.
