One vote for each dollar of taxes paid. Frankly, Im torn. On one hand, such a voting method would completely incinerate the standard of participation based on physical people, instead tying it to a number on a bank balance statement. On the other hand, people like mitt romney might quit hiding the income from overseas investments in the cayman islands if it meant they got more of a say in things stateside. Okay, that other hand decided me. Its a bad idea. People like romney would pay a chunk of taxes for four or maybe five years - just long enough to leverage their wealth into a sycophant House and two classes of the Senate and pwn the Presidency before using their purchased votes to exclude the majority of the people, and then quit paying taxes again.
