Hah.
Here are the current results...
IM: 17 votes

The donating poll essentially blocks two types of people...
1. people who are poor
2. people who don't truly care
The main target are the people who don't truly care. The poor people are collateral damage.
Here are three examples of donating-based surveys…
1. Donating was used to determine whether men or women are better tippers.
2. Donating was used to determine which prominent skeptic to prank.
3. Donating was used to determine which theme to use for the libertarian convention…

All three surveys blocked poor people and uncaring people. How different would the results have been if voting had been used instead of donating? If the results would have been better, then we should eliminate money entirely. Money should be abolished if we can prove that a crowd of voters is wiser than a crowd of spenders.
The truth is eventually going to be uncovered. The issue is whether you're a hindrance or a help.
Money isn't for communicating information. It's for making trade easier.
