Only people who forsake most or all material pleasure should be allowed to vote and/or rule.

>>4281005That could work but you can't realistically have enough people with that level of austerity represent the populace. We live in an age of unprecedented comfort and we must work around that fact. If those kinds of people were in charge of ruling/voting do you think they would acknowledge that the people need their luxuries?
