I'm for this. Anyone care to try and talk me out of it?
Nope. If they can't speak/read English with some level of proficiency, I find it hard to believe they could be an informed voter.
In order to become a citizen you must learn to speak English and you must take an American history test.
If you are not a citizen you have no business voting.
It's pretty simple. even Tranny should understand it.

For no reason that I have been able to understand, we do not have a legally-recognized national language.
We would have to meet that wicket first.
Not just being able to speak English, one should also be property owners. You want to make decisions for others, you need to have skin in the game.
I'm in favor of that, too.

Why do you think only property owners have skin in the game?
In a nutshell, here you go.
Renters by and large, come and they go. They could care less about the future of the town,
Renters have no skin the game as far as the town,city or county they pay rent in. One that pays property taxes and has skin in the game about what happens with the area where he owns property and lives.
When decision makers have skin in the game, when they share in the costs and benefits of their decisions that might affect others, they are more likely to make prudent decisions than in cases where decision-makers can impose costs on others.
Like being a downtown business owner, most folks aren't downtown business owners or business owners at all.. They don’t have a personal, direct economic stake in the downtown’s success or failure the same way a business owner does. They don’t run the risk of losing everything they’ve invested in and worked for if customers suddenly stop buying purses, ordering cakes or chugging beers.
Skin in the game makes it work.
In a nutshell, here you go.

You can't pump millions to the campaign coffers of someone you can't cast a vote for, and if you're a union or non-profit or corporation,
you can't vote and hence, can't contribute. You can still donate to the party, but that's as far as it goes.
