on further thought. i was on welfare for a while when i was young. something happened that was out of my control and my savings ran out. i am very grateful for welfare. it made me no less of a person and no less worthy to vote. after i got back on my feet i worked hard and paid taxes that more than made up for the paltry $200 a month i got on welfare. so i did not deserve the right to vote because of bad luck? without that help, i would have been a constant drain on society. i have and had every right to vote regardless of economic standard. i did not suddenly become a proper person when i supported myself. i was the exact same person i was when i was on welfare.

@ladycae You are a perfect example of why we have welfare and a social safety net in the first place.
