    There have been many suggestions around such things.

    We already have a system that disenfranchises people, based on where they live, the entire federal Senate for example, each state gets 2 senators regardless of it’s population. Puerto Rico gets zero, and yet they’re US citizens who have to pay federal taxes.

    How is this suggestion worse than those?

      I thought you peaked with “involuntary slavery is compatible with democracy”, but this might be worse.
