A republic/democracy dies when a certain class learns that it can vote to itself moneys from the collective coffers.

And that is exactly what women vote for. What they are hard-wired to vote for. A woman, seeing pain, even imaginary, all made by media pain, they want to eliminate it. With other people's money, it is easy to vote for money being thrown at the problem.

We must vote, for more welfare state, says every F'inist ever. The poor women, the husbandless mothers, the struggling working women (who are not all CEOs, because of patriarchy)

I do not believe we should repeal the 13th, but we should make it so you have to have skin in the game in order to vote.

Such as, with your 1040, you should have a sheet of which departments get your tax dollars (or donations, after we abolish taxes) and if any department doesn't get more than a minimal amount of funding, it is immediately closed. Those voting are those who are sending in their hard earned money.

However, along with the 13th, we should analyze allowing the poor (of thought) to vote. In the beginning, those who voted in America were land owners. People who had a stake in the future of the country.
