what's the difference from bill gates and a group of people ?? It's the difference between herding an elephant or cats - one is unstoppable and the other unmanageable.

In the case of a Gates his vote is equal to yours.. That is how it should be .. no ? his wallet though, I imagine is fatter and unfortunately also has a large voice. He can speak and use his reputation (well earned) all he wants and that is perfectly fair.. he earned it and it should be that way. He can blow his dough on an advertising campaign to get his point across.. I do not care.. The limit we have up here says that no one's wallet should (well yeah there are always ways around it) be a determining factor for politicians.... Frankly having a company like GS wielding political power far away disproportionately to one man one vote.. seems a bit off to me.. This isn't Monopoly...
