    People who receive a net income from the government shouldn't vote???

    I guess I shouldn't ask for any Pell grants or government loans next year
    Or what about people employed by the gov??
    Or the Elderly?

    That being said, I want it to be like the olden days when congressmen elected the president without any help from the mob.
    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    Yup.

    Or what about people employed by the gov??
    Hmm. I suppose we can treat it as regular income. But DC shouldn't get any EC votes.

    Or the Elderly?
    Depends.

    The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder
