Since when is it up to the government to decide what is allowable for people to vote for?  Totalitarian laws that keep people from voting are not exactly the best way to ensure a representative government.


In addition to basing this on stereotypes and a specific context of our times... you also overlook that poor people are less likely to actually vote and that the people who are "lazy bums living off welfare" are a very small percentage of the population anyway.  They are even pretty insignificant to the Democratic base (especially since they rarely show up to vote).

So your anti-democratic proposal wouldn't work anyway for the particular problem your aiming at...

Rather it seems you want legislature to keep the young from voting under the obvious pretense of limiting votes for a party you dislike.  Exactly the kind of political crap Americans who care more about the country than their party are sick of.
