Critics of the tax-tiered voting system argue that it could disenfranchise large segments of the population, including retirees, students, caregivers, and low-wage workers who do not pay income tax. They contend that such a system would concentrate political power among the wealthy, undermining democratic principles and potentially leading to a plutocracy. This perspective emphasizes the importance of universal suffrage and equal representation in a democracy.
