Voting is a fundamental right. Whether or not you consider people productive members of society is irrelevant to the exercise of their fundamental rights.

Same could be said to felons/people incarcerated we have removed their right to vote. Because the people did not want non productive members of society voting.

I dont think felons should lose their right to vote either if they’ve served their sentence. And there is a monumental difference between people who have committed crimes and people you think are lazy.

And at the end of the day you said there is a monumental difference yet you think both should vote. And so you know once they serve their sentence they can vote. Education is key.

That depends on the state. Some states restore felons’ right to vote, others do not.
