Types of Voters

We suggest three types of voters:

TAXPAYERs elect the House Legislature.
JURORs (freeholder) control the justice system and operate elections.
ELECTORs elect the Executive President and the Senate, whose job is to preserve the Bill of Rights.

This may seem complicated at first, but it really is separation of powers in the spirit of the Founding Fathers. Each type of voter has its purpose. A citizen may fall into more than one type of voter, and thus may participate in multiple ways.

Voter Qualifications

All voters must be armed, pass appropriate literacy and weapons tests, and have a short (under six months) voluntary military or police service. The literacy and weapons tests may be different for the different types of voters, the test for the Electorate being the most difficult.

The qualifications for each type of voter are as follows:

TAXPAYERs must pay taxes.
JURORs must own property free and clear (freeholders). They may also be TAXPAYERs.
ELECTORs must own property free and clear, have a family, declare their candidacy, undergo observation for five years, and be elected by the ELECTORate. They may then serve for twenty years. During their term, they remain a JUROR, but are no longer a TAXPAYER.

All government workers, whether civil, military, or elected, are excluded from all types of voters.

Notice also that if you do not want to pay taxes, then you need not try to qualify to vote. This makes taxation truly voluntary. It makes taxation without representation and representation without taxation firmly tied together.

Duties of Taxpayers

The Taxpayers vote in proportion to the taxes paid, if they qualify. The qualifications are meant to be fairly easy requirements, but eliminate those with little sense of civic duty. Since taxation without representation is tyranny, we simply make the representation proportional to taxation AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT. If you charge the rich more, they vote more. If you don't want the rich to have more vote, don't charge them more tax!

Taxpayers vote for House Representatives at all levels of government and control the purse strings. They stop tyranny by any minority. Corporations are legal persons granted special privileges by the government. They get no vote. If they want the vote, they unincorporate and forfeit their special privileges.

The House has power over any legislation that spends tax money. The House also sets the tax rate; all such taxes will be sales tax, transaction tax, or head tax. No such tax will exceed 5% (2% US, 2% state, 1% local).

A binding referendum on any issue or law can be demanded by a petition of 2% of the voters, delivered to the appropriate Grand Jury. Any law can be canceled this way. A law can be started this way if permitted by the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Any item passed by referendum bypasses the legislature and the executive, but is subject to oversight by the Grand Jury (see section Court oversight).
