Hartmann vs. Vadum - Poors voting is giving "burglary tools to criminals"

So what makes a healthy democracy? Some might say it's high voter turnout. As in - the more people who vote - then the more the will of the country is reflected in its government. However - over the last 50 years - the average voter turnout in US national elections is about 48% - ranking it 38th in the world - behind nations like Poland, India, and Estonia. That's why several organizations have sprung up around America with the sole purpose of registering more and more people to vote - to spur greater participation in our democracy. But Conservatives - have always been weary of high voter turnout. Conservative - Matthew Vadum joins Thom Hartmann.

Let me take a wild guess and say that Vadum is one of those Conservatives without a shred of decency or integrity that says 7 dollars a day in food stamps for a poor single mother is socialism and horrible, but 700 BILLION in corporate welfare for wall street after being caught committing FRAUD on top of it isn't socialism and is just fine. Pure conservative bullshit in action.

Interview De-Coded:

Vadum: "B-b-b-ut, if The Poors vote, they'll ask for stuff from the government and get it!!"

Any Thinking Person: "Yeah...that's why it's called VOTING. That's kind of the point, numb-nuts. It's how democracy works! Pretty nifty, eh? I guess you're just not so keen on the idea of democracy unless it's ONLY working for certain specific groups and no one else. In other words: you're keen on Something-That -Is-Definitely-Not-Democracy. LOL, good luck with that, man.
