Yikes, Rob!  We are on different tracks...

Originally, The Micro-Economy vote(s) represented the opinion
of those who supported  monetarily the development of Euphoria 
by purchasing a license and was was an incentive for more people
to support Euphoria by buying the license.

I think the same principles should apply to any amendment to
the Micro Economy. 

For example... a $50 "real money" donation to RDS, or a specified
Euphoria Developer, would entitle the donator to 50 Micro-economy
dollar votes. RDS could receive and disburse Micro-Economy donations
and levy a modest management fee for donations which it receives and
disburses to specific developers.

Any developers who do not wish to have their donations "taxed" by
a modest management fee can simply post the information where donations
should be made directly, in which case no Micro-economy vote would apply.

The bottom line is that I think the Micro-Economy vote should be made
more meaningful. I see Robs current proposal as being highly inflationary
and therefore a move in the wrong direction.
