so all of a sudden we're going back to a system where only rich people can vote? I know Jon would probably be in favor of that, but I think it's pretty sleezy.

We've already got it with folks who can afford lobbyists writing the laws and taking away your vote's power.
But I can certainly see making an argument that those who only take from society should not be allowed to control the folks who give them their handouts. That's a far cry from saying only the rich can vote.
