if you are on welfare should you have the right to vote?

i just want to know what most people think about this

 

Yes, but they should be able to pass a drug test to receive the welfare.

 

Oh just twirl your mustache and laugh maniacally and tie all welfare recipients to the railroad tracks.

You KNOW you want to...

 

Yes!!

But several test before that can happen..

1. they Must be on drugs.
2. they must be lazy.
3. they must have multiple children from multiple partners.
4. they must not look for work.
5. they must always vote Democrat.
6. they must never show a birth certificate.
7. Criminal records are a plus..
8. never pay taxes..
9. Always complain the rich dont pay enough
10. Embrace Al Gore and global warming.
11. Proudly display the Union label.
12. Try not to graduate...from high school until 25th birthday.
13. Vote as many times as you can..
14. Support socialism and hate capitalism.Even while shopping at Walmart.
15. Did You know Walmart is NON union ?
16. Get rid of all evils of greedy USA..Own No car..TV..Computer..
17. Learn to speak French...or Mexican..or Chinese.
18. learn which way east is.
19. Bowing or kneeling before elected officials is just fine.
20. teach your kids ! they are the future !!

 

Cons can't vote. Even after paying the debt to society.
Why should non tax paying people have the right. They contribute nothing.
I say no. If you aren't paying taxes you stay home on election day.

Not only that... WaTch some of the videos on you tube of the Liberal voters.
They haven't a clue whats going on. The vote they cast is all about who will send them a check. Idiot. IQ's under 90...... and generally ugly, some fat.
The ones that turned me off the most were the college kids. What IDIOTS!

 

They can't vote due to their crimes. People on welfare just need a helping hand up.

Don't be saying much about the left's inteligence. I enjoy the Simpsons very much. But I don't think it's news.

If the answer is no then I think that the answer should also be no for those in the management of any corporation that receives government subsidies tax breaks or handouts i.e. welfare. And they should be drug tested too.

 

Depending on what "on welfare" means, the helping hand should be a short term event.

"on welfare" for 12+ months goes from a helping hand to supporting someone who won't help themself.

Most agree that emergency aid is a good thing, but after the initial shoring up of disaster is handled, people need to start sailing their own ship.

 

In this economy, more than 12 months may be needed to find a job.

 

Not to be off topic, but there should be mandatory proof of ID when voting in all 50 states and the territories before we should even consider who can an cannot vote.

If we can't even get serious about voter fraud then what does the rest matter?

 

And that's why they get cut off after a certain amount of time.

 

I'm curious. How prevalent is the type of voter fraud that would be reduced by an id requirement? Seems to me that most of the voter fraud in recent years has centered on hacked voting machines, questionable chain of custody issues, and dirty tricks. None of which would be addressed by picture id.

 

"When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic" - Benjamin Franklin

I think every person of appropriate age should be able to vote, including those on welfare, but we shouldn't have welfare to begin with.

 

We can't enforce our own laws.. Illegals have been thought to have voted. Look at Nevada......

 

Oh, I think it's prevalent enough. And you're right. Tackle the problems you mentioned too. We don't protect the integrity of the vote nearly as much as we idealize it.
It's up to citizens to push this. I will be, you can count on it.

 

Only those who pay for government should have a say in how government operates. Those who leach off of government should not be given a vote whatsoever.

 

We wouldn't be much of a country if we simply allowed those on the bottom to starve in the streets. Some form of Welfare is required to not be completely heartless.

 

You have a heart by giving the poor... other people's money? Furthermore, you have a heart if you give the poor other people's money, and if they refuse to pay, they may be arrested, and if they fight the cops when being arrested, they may be killed? And the government gets in no trouble? In other words, the government may take money from one person to give to the other because they have a heart, and if that person who is supplying the money refuses to cooperate, they may be legally killed. Imagine a private entity doing this same exact thing? Everyone would be against it... but when government does it, it's just fine and dandy.

 

As long as someone is a natural born legal citizen, 18 or older, not a felon... they should be able to vote.

 

That's because Government operates with the blessing of the mob.

 

Those who are on benefits are not always there by choice, so why should they lose their votes because of circumstances which are often outwith their control

 

It doesn't work that way. We pay into a pot, you can go to jail if you don't pay into the pot. The pot pays for lots of things, military, cops, hospitals, etc. It also pays for the poor. It's not a direct correlation so your metaphor sucks. You don't go to jail for refusing to give your money to the poor, you go to jail for refusing to put your money in the pot which pays for all the things our government pays for including the poor.

 

After a very long time, at best. Section 8 housing occupants are in for decades or more. Same is true of full public housing residents. Mothers with kids continue to get monthly checks until the kids are 18; in some cases even longer. It's not cut off.

 

Yes you should have the right to vote. Your financial situation should have no bearing on it, becuase peoples finances change.

 

To be honest Mr Kranes, I would rather trust some of the crooks with the Vote.....They understand finance and business for the most part

I never met a drug dealer that could not count and they know their weights and measures very well....[Of course that was in my much younger days..LOL] ..
