Thank you for the clarification, I sporadically been keeping up with this and seeing how other states are also trying to follow suit.

I would love for you to explain the nonsense you wrote there. Would you be so kind? How does removing the voting privilege of a person while he is on the public dole equate to some blather about gun owners?

the welfare payments the last 50 years have been means tested, which has been demonstrated to promote divorce and fatherlessness. A mother might be better off divorcing her husband and collecting welfare than she is staying with him and enjoying the benefits of his wages.

The new benefit they just rolled out is basically universal, all parents get it, except for the very wealthiest parents.
