How can democracy evolve to eliminate corruption and to guarantee honest and altruistic politicians? Luis Razo proposes to create more transparency and to offer additional votes in elections to every citizen if he/she pays voluntary taxes. Thus, we could identify people who are less egoistic and altruistic people would have more power. According to him, implementing this measure, democracy would improve considerably.

Luis Razo is a business and social entrepreneur raised in Orange County, California. He studied psychometrics at Harvard University and for the past 25 years has been thinking and working on the intersection between business, philosophy and social science. He is the Executive Director of a leading Euopean knowledge management consulting firm and founder of the International Voluntary Tax Fund, a non-profit organization whose mission is to stimulate dialogue among business, political and academic leaders about the next phase in the evolution of democracy.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
