this scheme has no incentive to actually vote. It would likely help many people in voting, but a lot would just go fishing or stay home to play games. I'm not saying make it a crime to not vote.
tax incentives to vote sounds like a giveaway to tax-prep companies and tax-software companies, none of whom should exist at all.
and all of this when the whole voting structure is fucked -- first-past-the-post is when one candidate gets more than another, even if they get a small minority of votes.
Did you not read the part where I said the incentive requires them to vote?
we agree more voting is better.
