I still prefer the votes based on taxes paid - if millionaire are truely not paying their share (which I doubt) they will not have any votes - same for the lower 3rd of the public - this way, only the middle class will get any votes. Also, if people are civic minded and wish to elect those officials good for business they'll report as much income as possible to get the most votes. Those with no income would get no votes but would have some incentive to join the ranks of taxpayers.
BTW, those on disability income pay taxes on the benefits - BTDT. It depends on some circumstances but it happens. This way we get to pay tax twice (Yipppppeeee) once when we are paid, then again when the money is returned to us.
