The Jarvis Voting Plan

I wonder if Pete Peterson draws his social security?  But never mind.  Here is another Jarvis Voters Plan. 

Since we're having a hard time getting folks to understand that it is actually money that elects and directs congressfolks, perhaps we need to establish a more honest method of voting. 

In voting for the candidate of your choice you may place one dollar in the tin cup marked by his/her name.  Two dollars earns you two votes for him/her.  As you already have guessed, the candidate with the largest number of one dollar bills will be the winner.  This means that if you really like someone, you may put in just as many one dollar votes as your purse can afford.  Sort of like voting for American Idol.  You enter lots of votes and  believe that you may have tipped the election.  Then the final count comes down and you learn that your little pittance was like spitting in the wind by comparison to the votes stuck in by our First Class Corporate Citizens.  . 

Oh yes, the other neat thing about this latest Jarvis Plan is that the winner takes all.  All the cash.  That's right.  And the best thing is that with all this money the winner will already have a head start on next election.
