what about rural areas where felons out number tax paying residents?
plus former terrorists who wanted to destroy the country shouldn't be able to vote.

We're gonna give you three meals a day, room and board, a library and other entertainment, medical treatment, phonecalls and visits, and many other amenities.

COOL!

But you can't vote.

AWWWWW, damn!

Felons don't pay taxes?

Even without getting into the authoritarian perspective that you'd need to think that breaking the law is a justification for oppression, stripping felons of their rights after they've served their time is pretty unethical imo.

He lives a lifestyle that that cannot be replicated for the masses by any means conceivable.
