Us vs Them

I read an article yesterday that was saying whether or not convicted felons should be allowed to vote EVER AGAIN. Mostly everybody that commented at the bottom of the article said that they DO NOT feel that convicted felons should be allowed to vote.  What happened to paying the debt to society? The truth is finally starting to show. Paying the debt to society is just a phrase that is used for people that are getting locked up. The truth is that the debt is never paid.  When the regular people are making comments openly like this, imagine what the politicians are thinking.  One lady said that she did not want a campaign influenced by a felon. She stated that felons do not DESERVE the right to vote in this country ever again. Obviously, these comments are made by people that use different user names to protect themselves, but these are the things that are said behind closed doors and aliases. When people are on TV they say that right things. Its time to confront these people. With this issue, we are talking about voting, they didn't say anything about jobs.  For the felons that are employed they are required to pay taxes, but there are people saying that you shouldn't be allowed to vote.  Its the law to pay taxes, but people are voting for you to lose your right to vote! Listen to the message that America is sending to us: We want your money, not your mind, opinion, or vote. What happened to "All men are created equal", and "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness"? Maybe the fine print is "until you make a mistake". I must have missed that part. Guess I'm not American anymore. I must have lost my citizenship. Then again America is known for helping out the non American. Maybe then, I could go to school for free, get business loans, and become part of the melting pot that makes this country so great. I'm just saying.
