"The notion of universal suffrage is inherently defective.
Giving a degenerate drug addict dependent on societal largess the same vote as the person who builds a business that employs thousands of people is logically AND morally insensible."

It might be amusing to debate whether the massive increase in the number of lawyers in the US has led to a net societal benefit or not, and whether lawyers should be given universal suffrage or possibly suffering.

I don’t think Hunter Biden’s vote should count as much either, but whatcha going to do?

poverty doesn't mean what it used to mean in the US.
Does "middle class?"
In 1971, did middle class mean owning 2 cars, owning your home, etc?
I don't know, just asking.

In 1971, I think it meant owning your own home, but maybe not two cars, multiple tv's, etc.

Looking it up, different sources have different definitions. All of them look at income as related to another measure. For some, it's a certain percentage above poverty level. For others, it's within a certain percentage of mean, or median, income of the population.
But yeah, I grew up in a pretty middle-class home, and we had one tv in 1971.

A 21 inch color TV cost roughly $3300 in today's money in the early 70's.
