That's so true. The only way to even out the playing field is to have a system where people who pay more taxes have more power. Not one person - one vote as right now, but some kind of regressive system where the more taxes you pay the more votes you can cast. Regressive - meaning that Bill Gates won't have million votes, but say 100, comparing to an average tax payer having 5, and average person who is not paying taxes - 1 vote. As someone said people eventually will realize they will find a way to vote themselves 'free' stuff and being 5 year olds they won't see the outcome of such actions. But if only those voted who pay for that 'free' stuff - they would be much more responsible and politicians won't be able to bribe them promising 'free' stuff. But it is too late now to implement something like that.
