Wouldn't this just put more undue political power into the hands of those with more assets? I thought it a better idea to keep things more balanced. Wouldn't this be a move toward a corpocracy? You'd basically create a huge group of entities that would have a high voter turnout (because it'd a part of "doing business") that would most definitely vote based solely on business/corporate interests. They'd be easily wooed, in other words. Not only that, but what would stop people from creating several corporations merely to get more votes (among other benefits)?
I think it's a terrible idea.
