If we're going to tax rich people at a higher rate, let's allow a person's vote weighted to count based upon their wealth or taxes paid. The more taxes you pay or acres of land you own, the more votes you get. Just like shareholders in a corporation. Eliminate the conflict of interest also, if you are receiving welfare, you don't get to vote.... :) How about the inheritance tax? Seems ridiculous when my dad dies, I have 90 days to give the govt cash to cover 60% of the value of what he already bought and paid taxes on..... Politics as usual; buying votes.....nothing more, nothing less. Follow the money....
