You start correcting the article by saying voting is a right, not a privilege. The you go on to say that some people should not be able to vote on certain issues that do not pertain to them? THAT'S EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO HAS EVER VOTED FOR ANYTHING. So good idea buddy, lets just make this country a monarchy and forget all this voting crap .

If they had their privileges taken away years ago then Obama would of never of got into power since most of his supporters were ghetto trash.

Wow, you are really ignorant. I happen to live in a household that receives food stamps, I live with my mother who is on SSI. I work and we use the stamps to eat, we get a total of $30 per week for the BOTH of us.
Lowest of the low? That's hilarious. I am a college graduate and she worked in industrial sales for over 10 years, making $150,000 - $180,000 dollars per year. She has paid an enormous amount of taxes in her working life. Now her diabetes has gotten to the point where she isn't able to work as she used to.
We fell on some hard times due to natural disasters affecting us when we lived in Florida, on the beach. People like you are completely ignorant, and really need to be knocked off the pedestal.
Have you ever received a paycheck for $25,000 dollars for one month of work? Yeah..the lowest of the low
Get your head out of your butt and stop listening to FOX news like it's the gospel.

Just read this ridiculous article.
So according to this guy, people on food stamps should:
1. Lose voting privileges so "they couldn’t vote for greater benefits or easier terms (most of them don’t vote, but now they couldn’t)."
Why? Most people don't vote anyway.
2. Be forced to shop at "Government Stores" so they feel the humiliation of being "wards of the state".
Oh and the "Government food products" would be easily recognizable, to further humiliation for people on food stamps.
Good luck keeping that store open with most of the customers getting humiliated coming there.
3. Be subject to monthly tobacco and drug screening, and if found with tobacco or drugs in their system, be dropped from the program.
I get FS and I never smoked or did drugs in my live.
I really hope this is a joke, but I'm guessing it isn't. The sad thing is, a lot of people on this site will probably agree with this reprehensible person.

I am working on starting up an organization that is run by voting. One of the decisions I made was to make it so that votes giving unequal transfers of money are ONLY voted on by the people giving up the money. Anyone can join the organization. So lets say the organization had 1 million dollars in the bank and 100 people. Well a group of 200 people could join with the intent of voting to give them self the 1 million dollars while the 100 people who did all the hard work of getting that get none of it.
Not having the rule would destroy the organization because the careless uninvolved people would come and vote to give them self the organization's money. This is the main reason why America will collapse just like the Soviet Union... because the people without money are voting to give them self the money that the workers are responsible for. So, am I going to waste hundreds of hours of my time forming an organization that will collapse on account of voters being able to vote to get all my organizations money? Hell no.
A thousand years ago this was the standard argument against democracy, and is being proven correct as we speak. The USA will collapse soon. The work-around for this not to take away anyone's voting rights, but rather have only the people who's money is being taken away vote on how it will be spent. Furthermore, the people who have their money taken away must have the option of opting out of the system if they believe it has been corrupted.

As a humanbeing I feel shame and feel insulted by what you say.
Thor would be ashamed by your words being a deity of the "lowerclass".
He would've smited you where you stand.

The argument of stripping people of their right to vote because of a conflict of interest is asinine. By that logic anyone affiliated with local, state, or the federal government shouldn't be allowed to vote. Military, civil service, whatever. Hell, by that logic no citizen should have the right to vote because we all have something to gain by getting the right person elected.
100% agree with your statement.
That being said, I had a hard time reading your post because of your avatar.
Hahahaaaaaa
That's awesome.

It's sickening and pathetic that you call America a democracy.
