Who polices the police? Voters can be ignorant. Elections can be rigged.
None of them seem to be particularly bad, we do have standard ways to deal with them, but sure enough let’s see your proposed solution.
But suppose that tax payers were able to vote for their own tax rates, and voting power was proportionate to taxes paid? And suppose the vote took place via crypto, so that the results of the vote could neither be rigged nor ignored?
I don’t see how this proposal helps us with police taking protection money from the people. Or with voters being ignorant. And what’s the point of weighting the power of vote to the tax money? It seems that you want this for reasons completely unrelated to what you’ve mentioned in the post beforehand.
I can see how crypto theoretically solves the issue with rigging the votes, at the cost of it’s own bunch of problems. For instance, it complitely obliterates the secrecy of voting and makes the whole system more expensive and slow.
As usual, cryptocurrency is a solution in a search for a problem. For any its application, you can most likely achieve the same benefits with less downsides without using crypto.
You raise some problems with the current system:
