clo,

Again, we disagree.

A person who gets more than he gives to government, will ALWAYS vote for more of it. Don't you see that? Given that government is antithetical to the concept of freedom (to "govern" is to "restrict" and "exercise continuous sovereign authority over"), it obviously isn't appropriate in a free society for government to consume half of everything that gets produced and to regulate just about everything its citizens do.

"I think the Constitution is an extraordinary document that should be followed to the letter.
And I think those without a vested interest in a community, have no business voting. This, by the way, is how the Founders intended it to be."

I disagree.

Nothing as important as the Constitution should stay static when there are many changes.

The Founding Fathers, were human & made mistakes.
Consider their stance on women & Blacks.
Blacks were not afforded the right to vote until 1869. Women couldn't until 1920.

Anyone living in a community HAS a vested interest.
