I think we should ban people who recieve government funds (like checks) from voting.

I wonder how’d that turn out?

Like members of the Armed Forces?

That would turn into a situation where everybody suddenly got a check from the government. Marginalizing people isn’t the answer. Getting rid of the socialism is.

That can happen essentially one of 3 ways:

1) Civil War
2) Producers “Going Galt”
3) Collapse because we run out of money

I’m not willing to say people can’t vote. I think that’s misguided. The problem isn’t with people voting themselves goodies, it’s with cradle to grave indoctrination via public education and mass media. The solution to one form of tyranny isn’t another. The pendulum ALWAYS swings back. The solution is individual freedom and limited Government. Not more special classes and inhibited classes. I know it’s not the popular or feel good view, but it’s the truth.
