When I look at voting, I see people's opinions being casted for a common winner; inanimate things have 0 bearing on that and why should they?
Your own constitution or whatever, clearly states that, "all men are created equal," not, "whomever owns the largest tracts of land, is worth more than someone else."
I've never seen this kind of mentality in my whole life, until today; just completely out of left-field.
LOL to be fair, most of our founders supported conditioning the right to vote upon property ownership.
People who owned lots of land were supposed to be more invested in making the system work.
The Declaration says all men are equal. Our Constitution does not, if memory serves me correctly. Nor does it provide for equal representation of "all men."
By the way, you Canadians could learn a few things about finessing inequality from us. We can do it without ever mentioning "race."
