Bilyeu Proposes Barring Government Benefit Recipients from Voting to Fix Economy

What was said

"Voting shouldn't just be universal. It's probably not going to break along the lines of pay tax, doesn't pay tax, but it probably should break along the lines of something like if you are receiving benefits to a certain amount within a given voting period that you are ineligible to vote."

Tom Bilyeu proposed for the first time on his show that Americans receiving government benefits above a certain threshold should be ineligible to vote, arguing this would break the economic incentive for politicians to expand welfare programs. He framed it as a solution to America's K-shaped economy and populist spiral, claiming benefit recipients voting for more benefits creates a structural drain that forces the country toward economic collapse. The proposal drew immediate comparisons to historical land-ownership voting restrictions.
