[Repeat Offender]

I think those on any type of welfare should lose their right to vote for the duration they are on welfare.

I also think those that are felons should lose the right to vote.

The Founding Fathers cared about the QUALITY of the vote, not the quantity. They wanted those with a poker in the fire to vote, which is why they developed a republic instead of a flat out majority rules democracy. The reason is they knew it wouldn't take long for the lazy to vote themsleves a bunch of "free" things.

This is why, long ago, I got out of my youthful exuberance for getting out the vote.

If people don't care enough to vote, I'm fine with that.
