How about we give people who employ at least one other person 2 votes and people who employ at least 2 other people 3 votes etc.
?
How about we give people who own real property tax assessed in excess of $250,000 2 votes and people possessed of property in excess of $500,000 3 votes
?

Outstanding idea!
lets merge with this idea:
take away the vote of anyone who has received welfare or any type of public assistance in the calendar year in which the election is held.

Don't overcomplexify. Try this one for size: each person gets one vote for every dollar they pay to the United States Treasury in income taxes. You bring your 1040 to the polling place, and the line "total tax" determines the size of your voting bloc.
"But that disenfranchises people who have negative tax!" This is bad why?

While we are doing the “how about” - how about if we give those who live off the dole and have NEVER worked even though able-bodied, absolutely NO votes. Those on Social Security, Retirement, etc., are NOT receiving “entitlements” as the Dems like to call it in an attempt to put them in a category with the parasites who have never worked and should, thus, be allowed to vote. Those who are genuinely disabled should vote. However, those who clearly have made a life of living as a parasite should not be allowed to vote since they contribute nothing to support the government.

How about we just repeal the 17th amendment provisions that take away States Rights to appoint Senators rather then elect them with their campaign contributions coming from other States.
If Senators were appointed there would be a whole new dynamic between the Federal Government and the States.

How about 1 “vote” for every dollar of federal taxes paid over the last 4 years? And moving election day and tax day to the same day, instead of almost exactly 6 months apart?
