If they're dependent on anyone else, they shouldn't get the right to vote. This is what Adams and Blackstone were pointing out with land requirements. If you don't own your own home and your own business, you are dependent on someone else, and you are voting in their best interests. Not yours. If they are dependent on the government, they don't get to vote. The government shouldn't vote for itself. In fact, I think there's an argument to ban government officials from participating in elections.
