Tax credit for voting. Make it count like a $50 charitable donation would.
If you're thinking, now, "but then poor people would always vote and rich people would be off sailing their yacht", I completely agree.
Yes. Or even better just cut a check or give cash or equivalent.
No. That's a deduction, and it's worthless for the vast majority of people who have less in deductions than the standard deduction. Also doesn't reduce taxes by the full amount: a $50 deduction would be at most like an $11 credit (or cash) for most people, if it even mattered.
Man, the rich just fucking off away from society would be delightful. Things might actually function in society.
