This statement isn’t as bad as it sounds. He is inarticulately expressing a desire that people who vote have to have a stake in the game to prevent people from voting themselves free stuff on the backs of the “rich.” That is the curse of democracy and why democracies ultimately fall. We are on course for that.

We are a Republic... not a democracy... but they are turning it into a democracy... and democracies fail... as soon as the leaches figure out that they can vote themselves a living off the backs of indentured tax payers.
