I don't necessarily believe that our best plan of action is the destruction of the democratic system. I'm not certain that trusting the opinions of the less affluent would be a bad idea. I'm not convinced my vote counts. We as citizens have handed over the power to act to our governments. In order to permit change in our lives, we must change our government in some constructive way.
Money is an inevitable medium of exchange, but an ineffective medium of change.
Wealth insulates us from the consequences of our actions. The best kind citizens are those who feel they make a real contribution to the administration of their society. Voting remains the best way to express citizens' wishes. By changing the way we govern ourselves, we can bring about a change in human nature. We must somehow balance the sway that money has over our governments.
