Ok, Dennis
What I said was that those who rely on
government for their subsistance, besides a paycheck...that means that all those retirees get their pensions, etc, and are not penalized. It also does not affect federal employees and military personnel. I think that got lost in the numerous posts...someone who
works for the government cannot be called a parasite. There are plenty of other things we can call them
In other words, if you rely on government for your living, but dont work for the government, then thats pretty easy to figure out who is not eligible.
And, truth be known, many of the people who recieve money from the government, even as supplemental income, should not be getting it. That money is NOT the Feds to give away.
And how, exactly, could I be put on the dole by the government? I have a job, and I wont take the money....so how would that work? Besides, it would take quite a bit of money to put 57% of the eligible voters on the dole, just like that.
Now, I may not be in the decision process, but then,
neither is the government. The only people who can disenfranchise someone are the people who
take the money.
So, I guess, as a start, the only folks who would be disenfranchised would be the ones I complained about originally. If we dont want to disenfranchise the others (assistance, etc) that would require "weaning" them off the government (actually our) money.
We dont need a whole new department in the government, either. The folks who oversee voting now can handle this, I would think. It cant be that hard to figure out for them. The government could provide a list of the ineligible voters to the various state agencies that oversee it now.
Just an idea
