I think a system of having multiple votes based upon personal investment into the nation would make the most sense with an open bias toward white men.
Wouldn't take more than two election iterations before those voted in manipulated the country / taxes to dump exorbitant amounts back on themselves to revote themselves in forever.
You get 1 vote for being a white male over age 24 with no felonies, another for owning a home, another for serving in the military honorably
I don't think there is a good way to quantify how much people should get for what. Certainly when you do something like give more votes to those who own companies, especially extra counts per employee, you'll just have the biggest company owners deciding elections. It'll be a 2 election cycle fascist country.
Also fraud will be ridiculously rampant as it'll be too hard to keep track of everyone's qualifiers.
A few more details then, a system of voter ID by which you are free to have your ID updated once every four years and that ID would have the number and reason for your vote totals, likely with a number of symbols denoting which types of votes, and a matching set of stamps for ballots that poll judges would use to weight the ballots to the individual's total votes. the first symbol would be a black circle, relating to being a white male over 24, 3 additional symbols being possible for the categories of financial contribution, service, and social investment, those symbols having different shapes based on number of votes earned from given categories.
You can't buy votes and there are upward limits on all categories, in a civilization with millions of people a few rare men having the voting power of ten men wont be enough to keep some good old boys club intact.
The goal is to make sure the people contributing what a nation needs and the men who are what a modern country needs to maintain itself are best represented. Each category is based on a high level of vitality to the nation. we need food more than anything, of course genuine farmers receive the most for keeping a nation alive every day, we need a national defense, of course those who conduct it honorably receive an extra vote, we need teachers and emergency services, mostly their proximity to the results of government makes them imminently well equipped to be a check against bad laws and policies produced by representatives. Producing jobs and generating wealth and opportunity in our nation for people in our nation is vital and as a voting block job creators should be heeded. lastly parents, those producing the next generation have need to speak on behalf of those children and the future they will inherit.
Essentially niggers, foreigners, and wine aunts don't get a vote under my system, but women are free to earn votes by becoming mothers, getting married, buying homes or even starting a home business, and my system recognizes the ideal man serves his community, provides opportunity, reproduces and has faithfully contributed to the national defense, this system is clearly making a statement about what a person should aspire to be
we need food more than anything, of course genuine farmers
Yes but we don't need everyone to be a farmer. Maybe we need 2% of the population or less to be farmers. So if you wanted to give farmers ie 30% of the voting power they'd need like 15-30 extra voting points. But that number could vary. Also just because their a farmer it doesn't seem like they have should have more say in everything else the government needs to do.
My proposed solution to this issue was the government should be broken up in to different departments with their own budgets. There should be a farming department where you directly elect those there like anything else and they are the only ones allowed to create bills that pertain to farming.
Same with police, public transit, military, interstate commerce. Medical and Education should have the bill of rights updated so that either of these the government can not make a single law about.
This would ensure you get to elect actual experts in their field to handle those fields. Instead of electing one person and hoping they have good advisors and listen to them.
The farming thing is like I said a bit more ceremonial, but in low population states with plenty of farmers, you'll have loser fucks in cities with an average of about 2 votes, and rural farmers with kids and businesses who will average over 5 votes helping to balance the disparity in population, the farmer thing isn't aspirational it is recognition of fundamental needs outweigh those other aspirational things.
