“Perhaps the simplest solution is to restrict the right to vote to taxpayers (as our founding fathers did when they allowed only property owners to vote)”

They would just dumb down “property” to “wide screen tv” or “hundred-dollar sneakers” and then everything would be back to business as usual.

I would modify this to allowing the vote to those who put into the system, more than what they take out of the system.

IE, net producers can vote, net consumers cannot.
