If you receive more more money from the federal government than you pay it, you don’t have any skin in the game, and should not be allowed to vote for the year following a net negative.
This would end one cycle of corruption, as a person receiving money from the government will almost always corruptly vote for whatever gets them more money.
It doesn’t make sense to allow dependents equal power to the people they are dependent on. It does not happen in a family, and it should not happen in government.

No votes should be won by promising handouts, especially considering these types of promises won’t even be kept a lot of the time. Like when Biden promises to forgive student loans only to find out it’s totally unconstitutional, as he was warned.

As worded you would be removing the right to vote of everyone retiree on SS, members of the military, military retirees, as well as federal government employees - is that your intent?
