Voting Policies and the Proper Role of Government

According to my Fox News-loving mom: The radical left wants to loosen voter registration laws, allowing as many poor/undocumented people as possible into the country, so as to elect a president whose platform is built around government handouts.  Once this process fully takes hold, there will never be another Republican president elected. 

My view is that encouraging as many citizens as possible to vote, as is done in Europe and Scandinavia, is actually a good thing.  Who has a problem with a government that reflects the will of the people?

We’re talking about a government that helps people escape poverty, keeps our environment clean, educates our young people, and ensures that no one dies of a treatable disease.

It’s vehemently opposed by our billionaires, but it is, to the degree that it can be effected, a boon to the common American.

Apparently, former Labor Secretary Robert Reich agrees.
