Do away with one man one vote. It was a nice idea back in the day but that day has changed. There are way too many people living on hand outs and there is no way that the founding fathers ever envisioned something like that.

Have weighted voting based on the taxes you pay. It would be also nice if we could choose which government departments we want our tax money going to when we file our income taxes.

It’s about time that the people paying the fiddler get to call the tune.

Or, more simply, no representation without taxation.

Reynolds v. Sims - "In the 1960s in the cases of Baker v. Carr and Reynolds v. Sims, as you remember, they required the states to turn the structure of their legislatures, basically, upside down. The states had organized legislatures before the Constitution was even written and before the national government was formed. As a matter of fact, the two-tiered legislature with the two houses was the model for the Constitutional Congress itself, having one house based on political subdivisions and the other based on a portion of population. And yet, this 1960s legislation required both houses, both the representation of both houses to be allocated on the basis of population. "--Edwin Meese
