“I guess that means anyone who’s received a tax return or a Social Security check are out of luck?”
No, those are just the people that are stupid enough to give the feral gubmint an interest free loan for a year. I wouldn’t count that as “receiving money” from the gubmint.
Tax refunds? That's just returning an overpayment of your own money. I would exclude Social Security recipients from voting however. SS ought be strictly a welfare program as far as I am concerned. We shouldn't even be in the pension business.
