“any type of welfare should mean no voting rights!”
The same with any government employment (at least at the level on which one is employed - state workers can’t vote in state elections, fed workers can’t vote in fed elections, etc.). Who do you think they’re going to vote for?
IMHO, until we get rid of the 16th & 17th, ANY entity that receives taxpayer (gov’t) $$ loses their ability to vote and/or ‘donate’ to the political process...and make the penalty HURT and hurt HARD.
All too often the crony capitalism is just as bad, if not worse, than the leech class. At least in this way, they may get something, but there’s no giving back.
It’s been my thought, if you can’t pull the lever (or a new ‘drain’ on the system), you should have NO input in the system. No commercials, no ads, no print, no NOTHING.
