>citizens have to pay a fixed sum of money per office/position they vote for
>they receive a 1.5x payout if the candidate they voted for wins

We already had a system like this in America back in the nineteenth century, in the form of poll taxes and party patronage. Look up Tammany Hall. The system was a failure and corruption was prolific.
