> the entire basis of democracy, which is one person one vote

This is a relatively recent innovation; most democracies throughout history have not had this property, so it's hardly the "entire basis" of the concept.

It is, however, an interesting and possibly worth goal. The obvious problem (which has been noted by many previously) is that when the people making the decisions are not the ones paying for it the system is unstable (e.g. "three wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner", also "eventually you run out of other people's money").

This is a serious issue and possibly the biggest present threat to our current system. It's worth considering various possible solutions and thinking about what might work and what would likely lead to ruin.

If discussing these issue triggers "disgust" you may want to question if you are actually thinking about what is being said or just reacting emotionally.

The billionaires are the sheep, and people with less than $100k in annual income are the wolves in this contrived scenario?

Is it?
