I'm not following you. Are you saying we implement this alternative by removing income tax and replacing it with consumption tax, that corporations will run everything and only share holders get a say?

I'm not sure what this tax issue has to do with the right to vote?

Don't follow the fact that only billionaire feudalists are allowed to think their government isn't working well? Why can't ordinary citizens be unhappy?

No, I'm not talking about the IRS specifically, just the general "government doesn't work" sentiment.

You can think a government isn't working well, but the solution is not "dismantle the government" (which would lead to corporate rule and kind of already has), it's "elect a better government".

You can't vote your way out of an oligarchy. You can destroy and replace it, or you can secede from it.
