As we sit watch our government, I can’t help but think isn’t there a better way?
Ok I get it things like Obama care will have some serious negative impact and yes it will also help others but in the end the only ones it doesn’t affect or affect the least are the very same elected officials that are deciding this and all our laws.
So why is it that in a world where we can buy goods, work from home, do our banking, watch and even contact our elected officials we still can’t instantly vote online?
Its simple, instant accountability and lack of contorl is why we are not allowed to vote online.
Yes they use the digital divide as an excuse, well here’s a simple solution. Libraries, government buildings and post offices. Place free devices at these places, they already exist in libraries, so everyone has access today. Its much easier than standing in a ridiculous line to use an ancient system and all of us crammed in rooms at the same time.
Will there be fraud? Sure but no more than there is now with buying votes, the voting dead (not to be confused with the Walking Dead, these guys are real actors with votes) etc.
by the here’s how we can control fraud much better than today’s system does. You will have one voter id per person. Just as you do today. So if there’s a fraudulent vote cast using your voters id, you can be instantly be notified by a tweet sent to your voters id assigned tweeter account.
This would be an assigned account to your voter id without any relationship to you as a person so anonymity would be perserved while insuring one’s vote is safe.
Now here’s a way to insure that the taxes you pay fund what the tax paying public feels should be funded.
Assign a vote weight based on the total tax you pay.
For example one vote credit per dollar of tax paid. So if you are vagrant and pay no taxes, sorry no credit. Pay a shit load, get a shit load of credits.
Hey since we are footing the bill shouldn’t we have a say? Whats the reason we fought for independence? I remember something about no taxation without representation.
Hmm, think I may be on to something here? But hey, what about anonymity?
If we tie taxes to a person and that to voting credits Isn’t there a way to tie this all back to you?
No.
Here’s why. We take a lesson from the swiss bankers. Every time you pay your taxes you deposit that sum into you voter id number. Remember today your voter’s registration id has yiur name right on it. This basically gives you the right to pull a hidden lever as it were. Here you will have the same ability by just getting a nunber of levers so to speak, equal to the taxes paid.
So now today we could all go and realky vote on whether our government is shut down, we launch rockets to the moon or we have free national health care.
What else will this do you ask? It will force legislature to be written in our interest. Because the senators and congressmen would know that we had the real vote. They would stop being decision makers and become our administrators the jobs they pretend to have today.
Here the clincher, we would then only have ourselves to blame and be dully accountable. The power of government would truly be in the hands of those that pay for it.
So the next time they tell you we have a real representative system look at the number of likes on your last post and consider if thats a better one..
#we have a choice and ability today and its staring right at you now…
