Ex-felons who commited minor crimes or crimes at a early age should be allowed to vote

My opponent tries to attack my argument with a program called DARE, and he admits that this program has not worked. He admits that Americans continue to demand illegal drugs. He is trying to advocate the idea that the war on drugs cannot be beat. That is why I am trying to push for a greater benefit for our new generation. 35 percent of high school students have reported using marijuana. 40% of America is in the middle class. We can safely speculate that this is America's middle class minors. These people are suffering. That is why America should make an example of the 2% that did commit crimes. My opponent points out that we should improve the neighborhoods that these kids live in. I would agree, but it takes billions of dollars to improve these neighborhoods. My opponent assumes that we can just improve neighborhoods just like that, but it is not that simple. We should educate our minors on what can happen if you resort to crime, instead of actual jobs. It would be for the greater benefit of America if we could do this. Vote for the greater benefit, Vote for Con. My opponent tries to critique the utilitarian view on this case, saying that we should also care about the minority. Some people would assume that it is very respectful to take care of the minority. That is like me trying to make the case that we should start giving taxes to the wealthy 1%, because they benefit the economy when they create jobs. He says using my logic can work for the 5% of the unemployed people. I mentioned in my case that we should focus on getting ex-felons financially secure. Getting them financially secure would be a greater benefit, than to just give them voting rights. He also acts like giving them voting rights is going to benefit the economy, when there are 74.8 million minors that are going to actually be the future of America. Vote for the 74.8 million minors that will benefit for Americans. Vote for the future. Vote for con. My opponent says in his next argument that the 90% of felons benefit the economy. I agree, we should help them get financially secure. Voting Rights should pose as the example for the 74.8 million minors that are learning that doing drugs are cool. It would be for the greater benefit. Lastly, my opponent makes the claim that ex-felons can be primary sources. I agree with this statement. However, this is also America. They can create awareness for themselves. Teach our minors their mistakes, so that history does not repeat itself. If the ex-minors know what kind of pain they go through, than they can teach the young the consequence of there action. In the end, my opponent seems like he wants a change in how our society. But I have proved again, and again that we achieve a better, brighter future with my case. We have the chance to decrease crime in minors. We have 5.83 million ex-felons. We have the ability to decrease this number by setting an example. Don't let history repeat itself with my opponents case. Vote con, because Con has a set future in plan, knows the consequence of its actions, and will brighten our future. And if you still support my opponent's case, and are still willing to vote for his case, than I will give you 1 things to think about before making your decision. 1. What does America's future look like when you let my opponent's case run in America? You just benefited roughly 2% of the American population. But you have the chance to put a greater benefit for the 74.8 million minors that are learning that crime is cool. If you vote for his case, you have deleted a better future for America. Think about the consequence of my opponents case, and then think about the greater benefit for the 74. million minors that are going to continue to grow America. Vote for the better future. Vote for Con. http://teens.drugabuse.gov...
