Remind me note to vote for this idiot

Mr. Bill Schwenk wrote to the Pilot Newspaper recently with what he thought was a brilliant idea. To Hell with one man, one vote. No - let those with more money get more votes - because you know - they're worth more.

Yup. There are a lot of jerks in the world, but this guy happens to be in my little corner of it.

However, it occurs to me that for those who bear the financial burden of paying the highest taxes, thanks to that very fair graduated income tax principle, their vote should be weighted to reflect the amount of taxable income reported. If the graduated tax is fair, then the weighted vote principle should be fair as well. Don't you agree?

For example, everyone who earns an annual income of say zero to $30,000 gets one vote. Those who earn $30,001 to $50,000 get two votes. Incomes between $50,001 and $80,000 would be worth five votes. Incomes between $80,001 and $125,000 are worth 10 votes. Incomes between $125,001 and $250,000 are worth 20 votes. Incomes that exceed $250,000 are worth 35 votes per person.

I think anyone who comes up with an idiotic idea like this gets no vote. Or at least,I should get two to counteract his bullshit.
