People say that weighing the influence of people by, say, intelligence, or level of education, is "undemocratic" and therefore evil. But apparently weighing by amount of money in the bank is perfectly OK.
Every regime, no matter how crazy, will pretend to be democratic just because it's good politics. Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, China, Russia, and, yes, the US, are all "democracies". The only difference is how the votes are weighed.
Sure they do. "People" have a say, for a given definition of people. Just like in the Good Old U.S. of A!
You beat me to it :)
