Oh cr@p, I cant come up with a good reason that is any longer "Valid" in this world of brown envelope multiple votes by Dead Presidents lithographs.... one dollar, one vote. I actually suggested we should auction off the presidency by sealed bid, with all bids going into the treasury after the votes are counted. if people are going to buy the office, anyway, they might as well buy it from the government instead of from the media. |

There was a comic book I used to read set in a multi-dimensional city that ran exactly that way -- no taxes, but elections were called whenever the city treasury ran low and $1 = one vote for a candidate, all "votes" going into the treasury whether the candidate won or lost. The protagonist's neighborhood was a poor one that didn't have spare cash around for voting so they tended to get hosed.

Not quite -- our current system still pretends to be about public service, the fictional city was more honest.
