“Of course I would also favor a voting ban on anyone who receives any form of government money”
Here’s a radical idea.
How about a ban on government handouts in the first place?
Everyone pays the same rate of taxes, nobody gets “special” favors, nobody can buy votes.
Absolutely, but my plan would ban government employees as well. Your average schoolteacher would argue (and not without merit) that her salary is not a handout -- It is however, government money and therefore would require she be barred from voting. This would also eliminate any political activities from government unions as they would not have a means of voting themselves a pay increase.
I would exempt active duty military from this as the military is one of the few things allowed in the Constitution
