That's an interesting question and one that's not easily answered in a straightforward manner. In a true Democracy, every individual is entitled to a political voice. However, a true Democracy is always destined to destroy itself by allowing the takers to vote themselves benefits paid by the producers.

I always prefer to take the high road so I'm completely in favor of everyone having their political voice be heard, and recognize my responsibility to point out the dangers of taking that stand.
