No, I would be on the 'right side' of the line, because this sort of shit is very much disallowed by the US Constitution, and for good reason. Also, am old enough it would not apply to me, but would limit the vote of people younger than me.
Your first argument is "it isn't so because it isn't so", which is recursive, and as such invalid; I trust I needn't explain that to you. Your second argument assumes that because you're "old enough", duty wouldn't apply to you. In my view (as with Heinlein), we'd
find something for you to do. You're free to refuse, but then.. you don't get a say, ever again. Only those who commit get to decide.
This proposal is predicated on
responsibility, which is a brden, so it is anathema to the free-loaders of the world. But that is precisely why it is good, and why it should be implemented.
This is sour grapes and spite by the son of immigrants about the difficulties his parents faced that native-borne American's do not.
You keep coming back to this, and yet I want it for
my country, and all my ancestors lived here many centuries before your country was even founded. Clearly I'm not some jealous immigrant, who wants this out of envy. So much for
that interpretation of the motivating impulse...
Yet again the peasant mindset of Euro's rears it's head; you can have neo-feudalism if you want, but fuck off supporting it outside your own nation.
You keep saying this, but repetition doesn't make it so. I don't want free-loaders having a say in my country's governance; only contributing citizens. How is that "peasant"-like? It is meritocratic. Decision-making power is 'bought', as it were, by
investment into the community. "Skin in the game", you might say. Status is earned: neither a 'freebie' nor a hereditary privilege, but a fair reward for one's commitment to one's country.
(Neither is this feudalism, but I wouldn't expect you to be familiar with the finer points of
that system.)
And the US is very much not a 'merchant prince' society, so that ideal means jack and shit to the US Constitution or public.
You have said dumb things about America so often that I'm confident that you know fuck-all about its true nature. (I am reminded of the adage that a mouse born in a stable is not, by virtue of his birth-place, an authority on thoroughbreds.) America is, hilariously, the most mercantile nation of Earth by all significant metrics. Only its
princely nature, so to speak, is diminished by its misguided dedication to egalitarianism (which has bred most of its present ailments, in fact; including such madness as the 'woke' disease).
I am confident that your country will get over this temporary insanity, though. It only takes a bit of time. We'll all get over this together. You and I may even live to see it, although I do fear that's overly optimistic.
Also, poll taxes and other impediments to voting for US citizens are very much illegal under the US Constitution, outside of the restrictions on felons voting.
A legalist argument. Again, a repetition of "it isn't so because it isn't so".
Things are only
thus until they are changed.
