Tax payers should get two votes…
I was going with only taxpayers should be allowed to vote
There is only one type of Ocracy that will ever rule this world 100% successfully, and that is Theocracy. Nothing else has ever succeeded and nothing else ever will.
The last Ocracy, – Democracy, – has definitely played a major role in destroying many, really potentially promising Nations, particularly those in Africa, where only might is right and very very rich. The rest simply don’t exist!
Fortunately, there are distinct signs, even glaring proof that, Theocratic rule is at the very door of every Nation on earth. Nobody, but nobody, knows the exact day or hour, but, there is absolutely no doubt that the season has arrived!Problem is; are we all prepared and ready for it? And, if not, why not? Not one of us can afford to miss out on being part of this great and wonderful, new dispensation!
I would be very interested to know if only the tax payers votes were counted who would be tasked with the responsibility of that said money?
