MODERATORS
I heard even more radical proposal (not in us) - cap the voting age. Reason is simple, by voting you decide about future, how can pensioners who, frankly, will die soon can reasonably decide about my future if I am 20 yo.
Maybe once you retire and get your pension you stop voting.
If it's capped on the other side of your life then it needs to be capped on that side too.
