Should I Lose My Voting Privileges?

I’ve been on Obamacare for nine years now. And it’s always bothered me. I don’t think welfare should go to the upper middle class. It should only go to the working class and poor. But I take my annual gift from the taxpayers because that’s what the political majority wants. Who, after all, am I to argue with the infinite wisdom of our Woke-led political majority?

But it still bothers me. Our whole system of government is predicated on checks and balances, and the only check the taxpayers have against paycheck slavery is voting. And that check isn’t very formidable—especially when you consider that the ratio of tax-eaters to taxpayers in the electorate keeps growing every year.

So what to do? Maintain the status quo? Or provide the taxpayers with additional safeguards?

The position taken here is that we need more than voting to protect the taxpayers from the ravenous maw of the tax-eaters. We need to punish abusive tax-eaters the same way we punish abusive citizens. If a citizen abuses his freedom and commits a felony, he loses his right to vote. Likewise, if a tax-eater abuses the generosity of the taxpayers, he should also lose his right to vote.

Here’s my proposal:

• If you’re on any of the following welfare programs for five or more consecutive years, you lose the right to vote in federal elections.
  
  • Medicaid
  • Obamacare
  • TANF (formerly AFDC)
  • SNAP (formerly food stamps)
  • Housing Choice Voucher Program (formerly Section 8)
  • Supplemental Security Income
  • Earned Income Tax Credit
    
• Once you’re off all the above welfare programs for a year, your right to vote will be restored.
  
• Finally, we have to do something about corporate welfare. Corporations suckle on the teat of government just as much as unwed mothers do, and their abuse of the taxpayers shouldn’t be tolerated as well. Here’s a suggestion:
  
  • If a business receives more than $10,000 a year in subsides or tax loopholes, the following restrictions apply:
    
    • The total annual compensation for the president or CEO of said business shall not exceed four times the median annual salary in America. If a president or CEO wants to get rich, he needs do it without the help of the taxpayers.
      
    • Neither the employees of said business nor their family members may contribute any money to any politician, PAC, or NGO. The ability of businesses to purchase more welfare ends the moment they start receiving welfare. If they’re really passionate about “democracy,” and want to “lobby” for good government, their hands don’t belong in the pockets of the taxpayers.

Okay, groovy freedomist, that’s all I got. What say you? I say I shouldn’t be allowed to vote until I’m a year removed from Obamacare subsidies. My abuse of the taxpayers has continued long enough. Let me know what you think when you get a chance. Peace.
