If it were up to me (TM) I would have it that even RL voting would be weighted by how much taxes a person pays.


Percentage of income rather than actual $ figure, right?



That would turn progressive taxation into a devastating weapon against the same crowd that started progressive taxation, thereby causing them to be hung up on their own petard. So yeah, percentage. For the extra screw.

Well, in the US anyway. Straight



Heh - if people who didn't pay any taxes (and even GOT money too) didn't vote, would we be as screwed now?


I would rather not see the CSM become another poverty-pimping congress.


It's a good thing that sane people don't listen to freeper style militia nutjobs like you when it comes to politics. "poverty-pimping congress". Jesus Christ dude, join the real world.

I resent this implication. I like hotpockets and only have 3 monitors.

Funny, all these people talking about democratical processes, while our esteemed dear and glorious leader already leads the shadow CSM which is the SPACE ILLUMINATI.
