Uh Lou no offense but wherever you got your information is a bit of bullshit.
The reason we have a difficulty with voters is because, particularly your lower class, are very aware about two things
A. Electoral votes... If I am in a Blue state, it doesnt matter if I vote Red, my vote doesnt count
B. Why would I vote for people who honestly can not represent me nor will represent me. How can a wealthy republican making money off of high oil prices want or care to find an alternated fuel source?

While I know what theory this article is based on, and I truely believe in it, and yes it is happening... I dont think it has to do with government dependent people. It is due to an ineffective system, and party lines with to much power thus squeezing the common man out of politics.
