So, don't let people vote if they have a financial stake in policy? OK, by that logic, no one who pays taxes should be able to vote, since they can just vote for tax cuts and credits. Therefore, no taxation with representation.

But sure, great idea, the only people allowed to vote should be those with no stake in the outcome of that vote I guess.
