Quadratic voting seems like a very convoluted way to say: "The rich should have all the votes"
If voting incurs a cost, and the more of that cost you can pay, the greater your vote, then all that does is disenfranchise people who cannot afford to vote.
This is just poll taxes 2.0, now with extra feudalism.
