Public Voter is a non-profit effort dedicated to updating our democracy to achieve a more representative government.

A more representative government is necessary to reverse the current policies that continue to increase conflict, inequality, and public debt.

Inequality and democratic decay are the root causes of all social and political dysfunction which can be remedied with a few democratic and economic reforms.

Voters have a public policy choice of two opposing economic directions. One policy priority favors conflict and the other favors health. Conflict and health are incompatible priorities that compete for public funding.

The conflict-based economy prospers from increasing conflict paid for with public debt. That's what we have now. A health-based economy prospers from consumer demand for healthcare. That's what we want.

A transition towards a health-based economy is the change we seek. To achieve this change we must first update our democracy.

To update our democracy, Public Voter advocates a new apportionment act that would apportion representatives based on the population’s income as determined by federal income tax brackets.

Available seats are apportioned to, and candidates elected from, income tax brackets, statewide, instead of congressional districts.

The percentage of the population in each tax bracket will be equal to the percentage of representatives apportioned to and elected from those same tax brackets.

Representatives apportioned to and elected from income-tax brackets is a more accurate form of representation.

Apportioning political representation based on the population's income would create a more representative government. That's why promoting a new apportionment act is so important to our democracy. It's a policy change, not a personnel change. It is a political solution, not a partisan personality. It is the logical remedy to our democratic decay.

An apportionment act would also include Increasing congressional delegations as proposed by the first congress in 1789.

The founding fathers understood that free speech depends on the apportionment of adequate representation, so they called apportionment, Article the First.

Article the First, the 'almost' first amendment to the bill of rights, fell one state shy of ratification.

Article the First allows for up to one congressional rep per 50,000 citizens. We currently have a fraction of that, about one representative per 775,000 citizens.

A new apportionment act is a strategy to update democracy to achieve a more representative government for the public.

Passing a new apportionment act, that includes expanded congressional delegations, with incomes similar to their constituents, will revolutionize representation and save our democracy from its enemies.

Political representation based on income is the most important political solution we can implement to reverse the democratic decay and rising inequality created by an economy where prosperity depends on public debt and publicly funded conflict.

A new apportionment act is the litmus test for political division. You are not a conservative or a liberal, as much as you are either for or against democracy and the democratic reforms that will recognize and consider our current reality, that in our monetary system, money is representation.

It is money that represents us, directly, not elected officials or what they believe. It doesn't matter what people think, say, or believe, or even how they vote. What matters is the policy, and that's mostly bought and paid for with money extracted from our future.

Money is what matters. Money is the measure of our freedom.

Money is the representation we seek. The political spectrum is an economic spectrum and democracy is the distribution of wealth.

And just because I assert that democracy is the distribution of wealth doesn’t mean I believe everybody should have the same amount of money. It merely means that money should be considered as a primary variable when defining representation into law.
 
Political fulfillment and economic fulfillment are the same thing, government should govern accordingly.
 

A successful democracy, in theory, would result in a more equitable distribution of wealth. Increasing inequality is a symptom of democratic decay. The remedy for inequality and democratic decay requires education, participation, and an advocation towards a better system of consensus and representation.

Saving democracy requires more than just voting. It is your civic duty to know what it is in order to protect and defend it from its enemies. It's important to be informed and educated to challenge disinformation, and to correct antidemocratic beliefs, such as "government is the problem", which is the central deception in a web of antidemocratic disinformation.

The opinion that “government is the problem", and not the solution, has been a successful deception by right-wing ideologues for decades. This divisive and self-serving disinformation campaign against the public and its government needs to be challenged. I'll do that here;

Government is as good or bad as those that occupy it. Government is a good idea. It's an attempt towards a civilized society, but like any tool, it can be used with good or bad intent.

Government is an organization of people whose intentions are reflected in their legislation and enforcement priorities, which traditionally can be corrected here, democratically, if necessary.

The government is supposed to negotiate on the public's behalf with private interests. The success of which can be measured by the result of public policy and who that policy primarily serves, the public, or private interests.

The primary intention of government negotiations should be to prevent conflict caused by division and inequality, yet our government is creating more inequality to sustain an economy that profits from conflict & public debt. This trend must be reversed.

In our current socioeconomic system where money is representation, and when the government represents primarily those with money, those without much money have very little representation, political or economic. The inevitable result is increasing inequality, corruption, political instability, conflict, and militarism.

The coming militarism, if not stopped, is a transition to a different form of government. We have been changing from our constitutionally guaranteed republican form of government to something else, something less democratic, with little resistance or discussion, for a long time. This trend must be reversed.

We now have an inherently unfair political system and monetary policy that allows for one segment of society to prosper from taxing the other. The increasing public debt serves as a form of time-travel theft, profiting some people today by deferring the exploitation of others to the future.

Future taxpayers will incur an endless burden of debt and indentured servitude to pay for "our" current prosperity.

The government continues to borrow money from those it should be taxing while taxing those it should be helping. The practice forces the public to pay their taxes to those who loan the government money.

Public debt facilitates investor prosperity. It is an extraction scam ultimately paid for by taxpayers without investment income.

The result is increasing inequality and a disappearing middle class. It is an unsustainable intergenerational theft that makes conflict inevitable and democracy impossible.

If the intention is not an outright scheme to scam the public, the result is the same. The tax extraction scam will maximize the national demise. The public will suffer massive inequality which will prevent democracy and representative government, unless the "system" is corrected, economically.

The massive pubic debt is unfair, unethical, undemocratic, and needs to be reversed, or American democracy will not survive.

There are a few topics that need to be understood to advocate for the reforms necessary to protect and defend the republic and American democracy;

These topics and more will be discussed here at length to better understand the differences between the opposing socioeconomic designs, the conflict-based economy and the health-based economy, and how to transition from one to the other, giving voters hope that there actually is a good reason to participate in the political process.
