Absolutely. Receiving public assistance means you are a dependent. You have broken the social contract of citizenship (for whatever reason) and until such time that you are able to survive without taking from others, you don't get a voice in the direction of the country.

Think of it this way- my children, though I love them very much, do not have equal weight in family decisions. My wife and I decide where and what we eat, shop, vacation, etc, because we are the ones that are paying for it.
