    I just made another comment elsewhere that said essentially I don’t think democracy works when the wealth disparity gets too high, which at its root is pretty similar to what you’re saying here, so I totally agree with your point.

      It can if set up right. It’s just not set up right.

      I would love for potential politicians to be completely anonymous. You get their political platform, their voting history, and that’s it. The candidates would be randomly selected from a database of people with the necessary qualifications to hold office, so no one can really buy their way in.
