Citizens recieving government benefits should not be allowed to vote

We must first realize that voting isn’t and never was a blanket right granted to everyone inside the U.S. border.Very true... Mostly..._____________________________________________________________________________________Now, if there are restrictions on other “rights” like free speech and the 2nd Amendment pertaining to guns why can’t there also be a restriction on the “right” to vote?It is very simple. Rights are restricted for protection.The reason why the Freedom of Speech is limited is because yelling "fire" inside a crowded theater can cause death, injuries etc.The reason why the Freedom to Own Guns is limited is because owning weaponized anthrax can cause death, injuries, etc.Someone voting for future security is not causing death, injuries, etc._____________________________________________________________________________________An able bodied person who receives benefits and is able to vote is like a child being able to vote their own rules and allowances. No parent would agree to that and it’s illogical.If it is true that these citizens shouldn't be able to vote because they would vote for "candy for breakfast", then should anyone be able to vote?The rich would not be able to vote because they would vote for the person who would give them tax-cuts.The unemployed would not be able to vote because they would vote for the person who would create more opportunities for jobs, possibly in exspense of other aspects of the economy.The disabled would not be able to vote because they would vote for the person who would give them the most unemployed benifits.The normal person would not be able to vote because they would vote for the person who has similar sets of values._____________________________________________________________________________________or not working at all (welfare).What if these people legitamently couldn't get a job?_____________________________________________________________________________________What is happening today is that the Democrat party is bribing people for votes with someone else’s money.It could be said that what we have today is actually the Repulican party and the Tea-Party bribing people for their votes with someone else's money.____________________________________________________________________________It boils down to, “vote for me if you want more welfare, more Medicaid, more unemployment benefits, more food stamps, more W.I.C. money, free birth control, free healthcare, free college education, etc.”What if you need welfare, Medicaid, foodstamps, or W.I.C money? What if you cannot afford food, medical care, birth control, healthcare, or college tuition? Essentially the non-producers are voting to redistribute the money from the producers to themselves. This entitlement mentality, this political ideology, is crippling America.While this mentality DID help creaate a problem, you are mistaken if you think it is the soul cause. The big financial problems started in 2008, under a REPUBLICAN leader. It is safe to say, we did not have those benifits that we have today. How, then, did we fall into that rutt? The answer is simple: it isn't nearly as damaging as you believe._____________________________________________________________________________________This is exactly what our founders feared.They feared a lot of things that have happened. They would despise the 3 wars, the ending of slavery, and disability benifits. The Founding Fathers are irrelevant.____________________________________________________________________________Why should someone have the ability to tell me that I have to give them my money?The voters don't control what happens to your taxes. We are not a democracy. The Congress, Senate, Supreme Court, and the President decides what they do with your taxes.Once again, should anyone be able to vote? Remember, everyone votes in their best interest.____________________________________________________________________________ This would be like me walking into a bank and holding a vote to redistribute the money in the vault to everyone who voted for it. That is not accurate. This is like people giving the bank money, then some of those people voting if they want the money. Depending on how the votes go, the people who owns the bank votes. They decide who gets money, who loses it, what we do with it, who pays more, etc._____________________________________________________________________________________So far, my opponent has not shown why anyone should be able to vote.So far, my opponent has not shown why only those with benifits should be unable to vote.I have shown that everyone votes in their own best interests.I have shown that those on benifits do not directly choose to get moree benifits.Back to Pro.
