Then bring in mandatory voting like in Australia.

Or better yet, let's vote on issues collectively and do away with representation system. We have the internet. Then the majority of people who make more than the minimum income will vote out the ones who do.

Those solutions just make the problem worse. If you make direct voting happen then it will be even easier to raise the limit and even more difficult to lower it.

The root issue is that votes should be linked to net tax dollars paid - the more you pay the more you get to decide.
