Haha. Tried suggesting this one on Reddit. Did not go over well.
But really, net contributors should have more say in basically any kind of organization.
One way to ease this in could be to retain voting rights for everyone, but add an additional voting credit to people who are net contributors to the system. Might be easier to start on the state level rather than federal.
If you receive more benefits than you pay in taxes, you are owned, therefore your vote is being bought. You think you're just "voting in your interests" but your interests align with what your masters tell you and you'll line up to take what they give you.
If you are a net taxpayer, citizen, have voter ID, and a non-felon, you have the right to vote.
Never happen. Those on the receiving end of the money outnumber those on the paying end. And sadly the situation suits the modern aristocracy, so the Uber rich will be no help. It's those of us in the middle getting fucked, and the only way to fix it involves a whole lot of liberty roots being watered, sadly.
you'd probably see an improvement if only net taxpayers could vote (taxes paid - any welfare received); maybe set a minimum tax paying threshold

ya reddit is not going to be receptive to this
This would solve most of the problems.

I second this HARD. We shouldn't get rid of democracy but we need to put it back in balance, as the Founders intended.
