Your Vote's Value

Here in the Skypark there are proposals afoot that would expand the project by adding additional territory/lots available.
Some of our members passionately oppose the concept, arguing that any increase in the total number of votes is a major problem because it devalues a individual vote. They wish to be compensated for this presumed loss.

This concept of assigning monetary value to a vote led to the following calculations:

What is the "value" of your vote as an American? Here's one way to figure it:

	The GDP (gross domestic product): $13.8413 trillion
	The number of citizens in the USA: 304.64 million
	Each vote is therefore "worth": $45,436

A new citizen is added every 10 seconds (not counting illegals). This means that:

	Every hour your vote decreases in value by: $0.053694
	Every year your vote decreases in value by: $470.36
