That's pretty high level, and there would have to be a great deal of discussion over the general boundaries of that, but that's the gist of it. If you are putting into the public larder, you have a say in how it is managed. If you are taking from it, you do not.

The logical extension of this argument is that you get to vote ACCORDING TO THE SIZE of your contribution. Not sure you want to go there.
