You are right on. Every LEGAL citizen should be able to vote regardless.

Exactly. WE could clean up the system and make those who can work, work. I'm good with that.

Too many just getting free money without any sort of system working to ensure that they really can't work. Of course its not that simple, but they could at least try.

But how can they be legal if they can't support themselves? Thats the conservative message isn't it?

We have a fiscal duty to maintain proper financial responsibility.

If you can't afford a certain lifestyle, you should not be able to vote!!!!!!!! Conservatism at its finest.

I think your out of your tree. I am sure you and probably many are all one paycheck away from something disastrous happening in your life as well as someone else. There are many people who take advantage of most things in life. This is from the haves & have nots. However, it does not make it right for anyone of us to judge who deserves to be more or less. Walk a mile in someone's shoe. Better yet, trade places. Then come tell us all if, you like your rights stripped because your less fortunate or fallen on difficult times in your life.

That's bull**. This is America you idiot. Every citizen has the right to vote. If you want to clean up the welfare rolls then advocate for it. You don't just say you can't vote because you are poor, handicapped, etc. Liberals have made this a welfare country and I agree something needs to be done but NOT by telling people they can't vote.

So you would rather have a bunch of leeches who are supported by your tax dollars. Got it. You obviously haven't been listening. Welfare is the biggest part of the Federal budget. If we don't do something about it, we're screwed. As long as we have people who depend on the government to support them, those people will vote for politicians that will give them more support. Besides, people should be able to support themselves. If they can't there's family, then local charities and if necessary the state could be involved. Welfare is destroying this country. Can't you see that? That's why people dependent on government charity should not be allowed to vote. If they want to vote, they can get a stinking job! I hear Burger King is hiring.

And where again is the corporate welfare office? You never could tell me.

Many are one paycheck away from the poorhouse due to the government taking a quarter or more of the income to give to others who choose not to work. I have no problem with lending a financial hand to those temporarily down on their luck. It is those that choose welfare and government handouts as a long term solution and a lifestyle. They choose to be dependents of the rest of society. What you advocate is that the inmates get to dictate the rules. If you are a long term recipient of government largess, then you should lose the right to influence what that largess is.

If you want to participate in the directing of this country than you should be a participant in it. Who didn't hear the young woman shout about voting for Obama because he was going to pay for her house and her car and.... whatever. Do you think she was just an exception? Not by far. It is too easy for someone at the bottom of the economic stratum to be supportive of someone who promises to confiscate funds from those "rich people" (i.e., anyone earning a wage) and share it with them. When they vote, their interest is not that of the nation or the community... merely what they will personally receive.

We do, if they receive big subsidies and tax breaks from Uncle Sam!

Noraa, yo and BNU do know I was being sarcastic, don't you? I hope so.

Noraa Loc: Kansas

Didn't sound like it. Next time say so.

Wrong! M, corporate taxes in the US are the highest in the world. Likewise individual taxes in the US are also the highest in the world. People who don't work and pay taxes don't realize where the money of the government that is freely handed to them come from. They come from hardworking people either individually, or those on the corporate ladder. Capitalism is the source of employment. When that company makes more money, they expand business. Then they hire more workers. When more people work more people pay their federal income tax. When corporations make more money, more taxes are also paid to the IRS. Without corporation, who would hire people to work. Nobody, except the corrupt federal government that consumes our resources. That is why when more people don't work, our economy tanks to the toilet.

People succeed through hard work, goals, and aspirations in life. People who don't want to work consumes the revenue that the working people provides.

I should use italics. But hey, if I had actually been meaning it then your response was a good one!!

The sad part is that a lot of guys who post here are actually saying the same things and actually meaning it. Scary.
