Ayn Rand would note this is what you get when governments favor the
least productive or even destructive elements of society, while creating

My vote is worth as much as Elon's or a LA street junkie's. Elon gives
to vote. I'm neutral. The junkie receives.
Personally, I'd like nobody under 24 to be able to vote and nobody who
doesn't pay income tax either.

The poor pay less because they buy less. And...everybody, of every age,
gets to vote, providing they can provide a single store receipt showing
they paid a flat tax on something.
