Does anyone see where this could maybe perhaps go wrong in the long run?

I wonder how long our system of government would last if we eliminated the right to vote from the poor or overtaxed the poor. You think that increasing taxes on the poor will give them a real stake in the government? and what will that then accomplish? Make them rich?
I don't think that there is anything inherently wrong with social programs funded by federal taxes. I think the issue is whether or not a given program produces favorable outcomes.
