CMV: Voting should not be COMPULSORY, however, those who do vote should receive a modest payment on their taxes.

Hello my friend. <br><br>At the risk of sounding controversial and at a slight loss of points, I've walked into politics on Reddit. <br><br>I don't care if you vote, and I don't think it should be required; it's your vote after all, and I don't see the logic in forcing everyone to vote, as I think that would be misrepresentative and lead to rage voting. <br><br>HOWEVER, if you do happen to vote, I see a strong social issue potential. <br><br>I think it's literally within our technological capabilities, for those who DO vote, to pay a modest tax deduction. That is to say, if you submit a vote, on your paycheck you get £5/€5/$5 added to your pay after tax. <br><br>The benefits of this are made obvious on page three of Google. People are paid more for voting, thus, more people vote, thus on a happy day, democracy is boosted with people having a stronger voice. <br><br>It also serves as an incentive to support democracy and your nation with your vote, which I think is a much better way of doing things than being forced. <br><br>This also gives a strong voice to those who need it most, lower income, who tend to let voting go by the wayside, as they are more focused on survival. <br><br>This lets demographically challenged voices be heard, in an unequal world of democracy, where richer voices are automatically louder.
