Would our country be better if influence of your vote was relative to you education?

example:
everyone gets 1 vote.
everyone with a bachelorette degree gets 2 votes
Master degrees your vote counts as 3,
and PhD counts as 4 votes, for whoever you vote for.
so, only the rich are educated?
many people have a very poor concept of reality, don't they?
lol
thought of the question after seeing an online ad for an online degree.
I guess that is the bad thing about copy/past.
baccalaureate degree is what i meant. And I think most of us are intelligent enough to realize this.

Professional (academic) brainwashing by tenured professors would be even more extreme if education translated directly into votes.

Ardinus has a spectacular aura about
With every system intended for good, a million ways to misuse it come up.

The government would likely get into education systems more... restricting which types of people can apply for college... even though that's further down the road than being able to revoke someones education for an offense to the government.

It's just one more way to control people. The government already has our money... and more.

According to a Pew Research study, liberals have the highest educational levels of any of the distinct political groups. Hmmm, sounds like a plan.
