That's just the problem. It does happen now, in a system where everyone is throttled at only one vote to spend per election. In a system where you can withhold that vote till another election, increasing the power of your vote over time, it only exacerbates this behavior.

Is the better fairness on a micro level worth the trade-off of lesser fairness on a macro level?
