The non-citizens would be doing the tax paying. The citizens would do the voting and collect the dividends of citizenship. Foreign workers would do the work and pay the taxes. The citizens would not vote for the useless politicians who are now in existence.

so citizens pay no taxes ?
what dividends.. since the taxpayers may want some representation ?
but yes earning your vote is a good idea... is that the same as buying it though ? too bad there are many dumb connected folks with lots of money though.. but we have that problem already ...

Canada already has preferential treatment for certain groups deemed likely to be contributors..

Your tradeable citizenship concept is flawed. Young educated immigrants add to a country much more value than they subtract by using its existing infrastructure. It costs a lot to raise and educate a child in developed countries. Do you think the US would have been better off if it required that the Jewish refugees from pre WWII Europe had to pay a hefty sum to emigrate?
