12. No one receiving money from any government entity shall have a vote, except, members of the military.
So, anyone receiving Social Security retirement benefits, such as your parents may be doing, would not have the right to vote anymore. You may want to rethink your #12.... and while you are doing that, go tell your parents, aunts and uncles, that you want to take away their right to vote.... ha...
There are two classes of Social Security recipients. The first, and largest, class are those who are using it as a retirement system. As such they are not all recipients of “government money”. The government has acted as a trustee, and is simply repaying them their own money, or the benefits they are entitled to.
The problem comes with the ever increasing ranks of the “disabled” who fill the SSI roles. A younger black man, about 45, that I know had a pacemaker installed recently. He is in the process of getting SSI disability. Is he disabled? No, not really. I saw him at a bar recently having a vodka and cranberry juice. Does he have any real job prospects at age 45? None that suit him. So with his excuse in hand, some sympathetic doctors, lawyers and social workers I have little doubt he will soon be a ward of the state.
Again, in my opinion, one of the first things that must be done to fix SSI is to seperate out the various classes of peole using the program. It may be that society wishes to provide for the legitimately disabled. It is a bad idea to mix such a program with a contribution based retirement system.
(But again, the goal of the welfare class is not merely to survive with out working, it is to suffer no sanction, embarrasment of differentiation for doing so.)
For the same reason the “Earned Income Tax Credit” is the most offensive welfare program that the Democrats have yet instituted.
