We used to have property restrictions to determine who could vote.

I truly believe that folks who receive funds from the government should not be allowed to vote. All they want to do is vote themselves more funds from the government.

I certainly agree with you. That people who receive government money should not be allowed to vote is not stated often enough.

For those who disagree, I make the analogy of our country to a family. In a family, the children, the ones dependent, do not have the final say or power concerning anything. This is because they have not demonstrated maturity or capable rational behavior by becoming self sufficient. The same attitude towards citizens would serve us well. Those who have not shown maturity and rational behavior by completely supporting themselves should not have the vote.
