So you acknowledge that wealth trumps democracy - what then is the point you're making.
No, I never said anything about being wealthy. You could be a poor king, and still have a great deal of power.
My point is, you were complaining that your vote doesn't matter.
Well, in a way you are right. And I made the assumption (sorry), that you feel that way because your vote is often made irrelevant by votes of a majority with a different opinion. I was commiserating with you because the same thing happens to me.
But I may have to stop now, because you are not really concerned about how a vote goes, but more about how much money someone has.
I don't do class envy, and if my vote is made meaningless, it's often done so by people that do, do class envy.
