Belief-based Politics

Our political system is a belief-based system. Voters look for candidates that believe the same way as themselves, or as close as possible, and then vote for them. The problem with this system is that everybody doesn't agree on everything, so everybody's beliefs are compromised. How can one congressional representative possibly represent the ideals and beliefs of 750,000 diverse people and opinions?

People vote for what they believe, or against those who believe differently. This process enables misleading labels to measure our positions on a theoretical spectrum of belief and then divides us into opposing sides, represented by the major parties. The results are in. It doesn't work.

It's time for an upgrade!

Belief-based politics prevent representation. It's time for a new apportionment act, where congressional representatives are chosen by the population of their own tax-brackets. Money is a more accurate form of representation than belief is. It is only with the institutional inequality that any bias, like racism, has any meaning.
