Perhaps if people on government assistance didn't vote, there would be less government assistance to be had. Would that be such a bad thing?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...its-from-the-federal-government-in-six-chartsIf you subsist on taxpayer money you will surely vote to continue and expand it.
Only taxpayers should directvtheir $.
“Three-quarters of entitlement benefits written into law in the United States go toward the elderly or disabled. That's according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. And a big chunk of the rest goes to working households. Only about 9 percent of all entitlement benefits go toward non-elderly, non-disabled households without jobs (and much of that involves health care and unemployment insurance)”
If you want to look at who the taxes benefit.
“tax expenditures added up to about $1.2 trillion in 2011. And they tend to flow disproportionately toward wealthier households”
You guys have a distorted imagination of just who welfare recipients are. You are essentially saying you don't want a lot of 65+ people nor disabled people to vote.
A very small fraction of people are "welfare queens". Yet the right wing acts as though they are in the majority of welfare recipients.
