yes. Democracy is not supposed to be based on how much money you make. It's amusing that you think poor people are getting any meaningful representation as it is.
What's amazing is they are getting meaningful representation. This is why they continue to get their welfare checks and ebt cards. Something doesn't seem right about someone who can't earn enough to feed themselves and their children being able to choose our leaders.

What is NOT working? Yes, people try and cheat on ANYTHING.
We're not talking about cheaters; we're talking about 3rd generation welfare cases. When do we end the madness? We're talking about women/men who have 5 kids they can't care for and keep having more. When do we fix these people?

It doesn't mean the thing doesn't work. The welfare system has been refined, tightened up, revamped time and again. It's far from perfect, but it's still essential in a humane society.
I've never argued against no assistance. Like i've said numerous times certain people need help; mentally ill, disabled, and a few other specific cases. What we need to stop is continuing to fund the lifestyles of people who continue to make poor choices. Here's a thought after the first child get the couple fixed if they're on welfare.
