I like this idea- how about you get one vote for every dollar you pay in taxes?

I've long thought something similar, though a bit different, and with some modifications.

Every citizen gets 1 vote to start.

1 vote for every $1000 net paid in federal income tax (subtracting any assistance or credits, like EITC)

1 vote for every year served in the military.

1 vote for every year where the citizen served in a combat zone

Yep. Gotta have skin in the game.
