I have been thinking about the idea of universal suffrage. And how it is a complete
fallacy. The truth is there is very restricted suffrage in the US. From minors to,
immigrants, those who are insane and so forth suffrage is a privilege not a right and certainly not universal. There is a restriction on voting because on individual's vote affects everyone as a whole. And it is in this light that I would like to put out there that person's who commit felonies should have their privilege to suffrage removed. I mean if their vote is made to affect everyone as a whole, haven't they proved their inability to do so for the good of others, i.e. they have
committed a felony. As above voting is not a right but a
privilege give by the whole to a few, thus I believe that
privilege should be removable.
