“2 does this include all federal employees including the military? After all they have a pro-government bias as well”

The military is pro-USA, not “pro-government.” There is a difference.

And they earn their pay.

Welfare voters get their money for nuthin’ and their chicks for free. They aren’t earning anything.

This means, welfare slugs turned themselves into a ward of the state when they take the money and don’t earn it. In effect, they lost their “majority” (right to be treated as an adult), therefore, they lose their vote. If I was king. . .

my husband served as a USAF officer for 13 years and separated from active duty in 2011

you are correct there is a pro-USA mindset in the military however there is also a growing entitlement culture as well

social programs are abundant... craft classes at the family center... subsidized day care.. youth programs and the demand for free tylenol at the clinic... do military members deserve their pay? absolutely they do we spent three years in Japan away from family

I happen to believe military officer’s should contribute to the health care costs of their families.. if they don’t we won’t have enough money left to build the weapons to win wars ( see former sec gates comments on the drag of health care on the DOD budget)

back to the question...I am not for one second implying that the brave men and women should not be able to vote....only suggesting that military members and their families have as much as a pro-government perspective as the welfare recipient...controversial absolutely but sadly true.

let the flaming begin....
