In an unprecedented twist to the upcoming presidential campaign, a leaked memo from the office of the frontrunner, President Fiscalclimb Freedumb, suggests that the next administration's tax plan is poised to "redefine the very fabric of our Constitution."
The memo, obtained by our intrepid correspondent who goes by the alias "Deep Thrifter," outlines a plan to introduce a new form of currency: the "Patriotic Votebuck." This digital currency, the memo explains, will be tied directly to the number of votes a candidate receives in each election cycle.
Here's how it works: every American citizen will be issued a Votebank account at birth, into which a certain number of Votebucks will be deposited, representing their share of democracy. These Votebucks can then be cast in support of any candidate, with the caveat that the more you spend (i.e., the more Votebucks you allocate to a candidate), the more influence you have in shaping policy.
But wait, there's more. The tax plan also proposes a dynamic tax rate system, where the amount of taxes you owe is directly proportional to the amount of influence you've purchased in the political marketplace. This means that the more Votebucks you spend on a candidate, the higher your tax bracket will be. Conversely, if you choose to save your Votebucks for a rainy day (or a more favorable political climate), your taxes will be significantly lower.
The plan promises to "create a more engaged and economically invested electorate," according to President Fiscalclimb Freedumb's spokes-euphemist, Honey Pot O'Really. "Voters will now have a direct financial stake in the political process. It's like investing in the future of our country, but with the added benefit of shaping that future to your heart's content, provided you're willing to pay for it."
Critics are already calling this a dystopiann nightmare," where the rich can buy more influence than the poor, thus undermining the very principles upon which our nation was founded. But supporters argue that this is the logical next step in the evolution of participatory democracy, where your financial contributions directly correlate to your level of representation.
In a world where money talks and campaign finance reform is a pipe dream, perhaps this is the ultimate solution to ensure that those who contribute more to society get more say in its governance. After all, if you're not willing to put your money where your mouth is, can you really complain about the state of the Union?
Stay tuned as this story develops and remember, in the brave new world of President Fiscalclimb Freedumb, your vote is worth exactly what you're willing to pay for it.
