[BTo deny the people the right to elect their chosen leaders is not in accordance with the concept of a free market.

Voting isn't supposed to be a free market. It's currently a priviledge to vote, but there is no right to vote. IMO, there should be at least one requirement to vote in a federal election:
Pay federal income tax during the previous year.

Agree.
I've always believed the needy could have a healthcare system set up for them at far less cost without changing the entire system. Don't understand why more can't see that.
It is a myth that the poor do not have heathcare. Here in Atlanta, if the poor get ill they go to Grady Hospital and other places. Yes, they wait in lines, but hell, I just had to wait 1.5 hrs for a damn flu shot at Kaiser.
It wasn't called "The Voting Privilege Act."
Yes, voting is a right in America for those who are qualified...
Echoing the language of the 15th Amendment, the Act prohibited states from imposing any "voting qualification or prerequisite to voting, or standard, practice, or procedure ...

Elitist SOBs like you are the ones who think in terms of voting privileges...

No need to get emotional and name call.
This is an excellent lesson for our younger and/or naive ET'ers, on how Liberals like to deceive and spin the truth. You conviently left out in your quote above the part that really matters. Here is the full copy/paste from Wikipedia:
"the Act prohibited states from imposing any "voting qualification or prerequisite to voting, or standard, practice, or procedure ... to deny or abridge the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color."
I'll stand by my original statement, there is no right to vote in a federal election.
Stand by your statement all you like, Americans have the right to vote, a right granted by the government as long as a few simple requirements are met. Such as age and citizenship, residency, etc. Those who are felons do not have the right to vote.
Voting is not a privilege reserved for the wealthy it is a right in America for all regardless of their social class, income, age, race, gender, etc. The right to vote is not earned by class or status, it is a function of citizenship and age, residency, criminal record, etc.
These rights are granted to all, not to a privileged few...

Look at the Bill of Rights. You won't find the word VOTE even once.
States decide who gets to vote. Right now they let everyone in. Why do you think Jesse Jackson was proposing a Constitutional amendment to establish a right to vote?
Its just unfortunate they don't keep the parasites from getting in the voting booth and voting their freebie givers into office.

That is the beauty of fascism, huh?
I supposes you are equally outraged about those who vote in representatives who give the parasitic corporations free range to suck the life out of the working man, move jobs to other countries, shelter their money from taxes, scam the public, etc.
