Imagine a world, where those who gave more to the state got more say so in state activities. Imagine a world where intellect was valued over anything else. Imagine a state that gave people opportunities to earn more than one vote so that you can put yourself above the people who have failed society and bring us down.
What i wanted you to imagine is a hypothetical system of voting that i call a weighted democracy. In this system everyone starts out with just one vote, but each person can earn more. Ways to attain these extra votes could be hypothetically, one vote for every five years of military service and another vote per combat deployment. Obviously the people who care about this country the most are the soldiers fighting and dying for it.
Another means of attaining votes would be through education. An associates degree could be worth two points while a bachelors could be worth three. A masters would be worth five and a doctorate could be worth 10. The United States was once a powerhouse of intellectual ability, we must provide incentive to our youth to get education and show them that we value the mind.
Community service would be my third and final way of attaining votes. for every five hundred hours of community service would get a person one vote, but people who take the community service road would have a max out point at just three votes from this area. The people who do physical labor for the state deserve a little something to.
Now some ways to lose a vote would be for example, dropping out of high school but it could be reattained after getting a general equivalency diploma. For every felony committed, but you could earn your one vote back after ten years. those who go on welfare would lose a vote until they were back off welfare.
Imagine a world where doctors, scientists, and the military are valued over social parasites, a world that makes sense. without the uneducated holding back our democratic processes imagine what we could achieve. Freedom is not free it has to be earned.
