Why should parents be the only citizens allowed to vote? You'd lose plenty of damn good people by arbitrarily assuming folks without kids have no viable solutions or don't care about others. Likewise, why would they have to be over 30? There are incredibly talented intelligent young adults--potentially already engaged in civic duties or military service--that deserve to vote before three-eighths of their life is gone. As for the net burden idea, I just don't see how it could be assessed without an authoritarian nanny state keeping tabs on everything everybody does all the time, in which case, it would necessitate a bloated staff of busybodies running the country like a soulless HOA. Just all bad things.
Childless at 30? That spells bad news. Think cat ladies, incels etc. Someone smart, an ultra dedicated scientist etc, ultra rare, they can figure out how to have a kid.
Yep, and my two late 30s nieces fit the bill.
I wouldn't want any government that wouldn't allow Da Vinci, William Blake, Isaac Newton, or Jesus to have a say in how their country/state/province was run simply because they didn't have kids. Just saying.
I know plenty of good men who are incels thanks to feminism gaining ground every year. And I know plenty of bad men who have children because they got on with the corrupted system. This is what happens in a country where even managing to get a job goes through the political system.

Voting has nothing to do with deserving to vote. Voting is not a right.
Parents are the only ones with skin in the game for the future of the country.
Parents are not the only ones with "skin in the game" because parents are not the only people in a family unit.
