Maybe intelligence tests to vote aren't so bad

Damn skippy! The idea that "the more people vote, the better", is antithetical to a healthy republican democracy. I really don't care about the the percentage of the enfranchised population that voted in any given election. The sad fact is that a tiny subsection of voters have done even scant research before casting their ballot. That only serves to mock and degrade the capacity of our government to justly govern and defend our God-given rights.

I would much prefer a system similar to that employed in Colonial and early U.S. America where only landed men vote. A modern rendition could be that the more money you pay in taxes, the greater value your vote has compared to others. For example, a man could have one ballot to cast for every dollar paid in taxes. After all, the more you have, the more can be taken from you. If "no taxation without representation" is the ideal, tying the government's 'legitimized' thievery to the ballot brings us closer to that perfection. The more taxes you pay, the more representation you should get.
