What more proof do you need that only people with a Master degree at university should be allowed to vote?

Yeah, because that is a good idea.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_test

University only costs €600 a year in my country. Cheap as hell! People in difficult financial situations can apply for a scholarship.

We are talking about the United States of America and its populous, not Belgium.

Also a Master's Degree has a high opportunity cost to acheive. For each year you are trying to achieve your Master's you could've been working and making $40,000 /yr + or increasing your job opportunities with experience.

Spend less money on military and more money on education then.

Anyway there's no correlation between amount of students enrolled for college and the cost of education. That's just a myth. There is however a correlation between the amount of students enrolled and the amount of money the goverment invests into education. Look at Britain, high education costs but still a large percentage enroll into college because the government invests a lot of money into education.

I wouldn't call working at gamestop, Walmart or Macdonalds a high opportunity cost either. I have family and friends living in the US. 3 of them have no degree and all work at Game x change (and Walmart before that). They constantly complain about not being able to get a better job, but they never bothered to get a good education either...

So there are no jobs in between Walmart and having a Master's Degree? I know a plethora of people who make significant amounts with just an associate's or a bachelor's, and would not get a masters because they don't have the time nor can they afford to lose money for what would be a marginal to no pay difference.
