I firmly believe that anyone who signs up for government “help” should have to agree that their voting right will be suspended for the entire time that they’re collecting the benefit, plus 2 full years afterward.

Does that include Social Security? Medicare? Veterans' Benefits? Farm subsidies?

No, that applies to programs where people voluntarily sign up to get freebies from the government teat. It would not apply to contracts that we were forced into (soc sec, etc.) or contracted benefits that were promised to our brave servicemembers who have actually earned much more than the government provides tham. Farm subsidies can end completely as far as I’m concerned. Farmers should be allowed to grow and sell whatever they want at market prices.

Less government intrusion is a good thing.

Why wouldn't it? Nobody with their hand in the public treasury should have a say in how much they get.

If voting is all that important to them, they should get off government assistance.
