Voting rights and living on welfare is a topic that has sparked heated disputes for years and questions the very foundations of democracy. For some, it is obvious that every citizen has a voice regardless of their source of income – because that is what the constitution guarantees. Others provocatively ask whether someone living solely off other people’s taxes should decide how that money is spent. This strikes at the dilemma of equality before the law versus citizens’ financial responsibility. Supporters of restrictions warn against “buying votes” through welfare programs, while opponents see in it the threat of creating second-class citizens. Is this still democracy, or already a system based on economic selection?
