So says journalist Matthew Vadum in his article published here:

Quoth he: "Why are left-wing activist groups so keen on registering the poor to vote? Because they know the poor can be counted on to vote themselves more benefits by electing redistributionist politicians."
Um.. yeah. Just like rich people vote based on their interests, the working class vote based on theirs, students theirs, etc, etc.
It gets even more insulting: "Registering them to vote is like handing out burglary tools to criminals."
So... the patriotic thing to do is keep an entire segment of society from voting, thus undermining the basic principles of democracy? Right, gotcha.

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
