The right to vote

[ecduzitgood]

Should people who receive money from the taxpayers have the right to vote?
Shouldn't there be some sort of conflict of interest?
I mean think about it, the more people on the public dole the better for the politicians that need their vote. If I was the party in control and wanted to ensure my parties reelection I would increase the number of people who benefit from other peoples money which would ensure their support. It seems to me that the politicians are not looking out for the good of the country as a whole but just looking to ensure that they can retain power at the expense of others.
