Why a $154B CEO just endorsed stripping most Americans of voting rights

# Summary Shopify CEO Tobias Lütke endorsed a tax-tiered voting system that would strip voting rights from Americans who pay no income tax, sparking debate over wealth, power, and democracy. The proposal inverts the founding principle of "no taxation without representation" by conditioning voting rights on tax payment levels, with supporters framing it as fiscal responsibility and critics calling it plutocracy. The endorsement reflects broader tensions in America's political economy as housing affordability and wealth inequality issues intensify debate over systemic change.
