Showing Original Post only (View all)Ted Nugent's Budget Deal: Suspend Vote For Welfare Recipients [View all]
Republicans and conservatives hate democracy and our constitution.

Ted Nugent called for the suspension of the right to vote for "any American who is on welfare" as part of his proposal to reduce federal budget deficits outlined in his latest Washington Times column.
The National Rifle Association board member also called for "slaughtering the three sacred entitlement cows" of Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, and called for tax increases on "the nearly 50 percent of Americans who pay zero federal income taxes." Nugent wrote that these policies should be instituted "before taxes are raised on the producers, which will further choke the economy."
Nugent frequently attacks Americans who receive public assistance, whom he has termed "gluttonous, soulless pigs."
