Are voters any less able to vote to give themselves more money now?

• twblalock 10y ago
  Yes, far less able. Most voters aren't on welfare, and they aren't interested in increasing welfare payments. If every voter got money from the government, things would be very different.

    People do vote based on politicians' tax policy promises.

    I really hate to get into a debate about semantics, but that is not what "able" means. =) I think I understand your position better now, though. It's not so much about whether voters can vote themselves more money - it's about whether they have the incentive to. I don't agree, because I think shared interest in the stability of the system would be a strong opposing force, but I can see where you're coming from.
