Ah, that explains why the rich, 'successful' people gave the poor people the vote in the first place.
And ignores the fact that the majority of the citizens would still be able to vote. So what you're saying is based on something that says socialism is viable, ignores historic facts, and assumes that people making 50k a year or more are all part of some giant evil conspiracy to oppress the poor, whom they hate.

Where did the 50k come from? We were talking about the "very successful", so we would be look at least 100k.
Also what is interesting, History backs my claims, so it isn't ignoring any facts. As for "gave the poor people the vote in the first place." I am sure you heard of the threat of revolution right? After the French revolution, the "very successful" astrocrats completely wet themselves, and with growing ideology of socialism and communist, which aimed to provide equality to the oppressed masses, they had to do something to stem the tide.
Then there were obviously those who were with that grouping which obvious saw the oppression and worked to counter-it themselves, freely giving power and wealth to make this happen. But it would be interesting if you start using them as your "heroes" because you wanting the enact the opposite they were doing.

It's the people who make over 250k a year who are targeted for high taxes in the USA and called "The Rich" by democrats.
Under my plan though, everyone who pays more in taxes than they get from the government gets to vote. Which means the cutoff would be around 50k a year or thereabouts.
As for your 'history'; the French Revolution occurred in the late 1700s, while socialism and communism became relatively popular around after the 1850s, IIRC.
And that doesn't have anything to do with what happened in America and how suffrage was expanded to all white males. You continue to ignore American history, which is what I'm talking about here. And seeing as how we're talking about America politics in this thread, that's the relevant history.
