The Founders most distinctly did not have this in mind.

They certainly wouldn't have approved of the way things have turned out. But the way things are is a natural and inevitable result of the mechanics of our electoral system as the Founders specified it, such as winner-take-all and single-choice voting.

Democracy itself is flawed insofar as voters can vote money out of taxpayers' pockets. Any recipient of any form of support or payment from the government should not be allowed to vote except those who put their lives on the line for all of us through military service. Sounds kinda radical, I know, but it's the epitome of common sense.
