> nation's (or the world's) wealth be assigned to the democratic process It's not the nation's wealth. It's Bezos' and Musk's wealth. You and I didn't earn it. Exchanging money is democratic. When I perform a service for someone else, they give me their votes in the form of dollars and then I can then give those votes in the form of dollars to someone else. Collectively we do this every single day. Like the Bicameral Legislative, we have one democratic system with equal representation (the Senate) and another democratic system with proportional representation (the House). Likewise, individual citizens like states enjoy equal representation (one vote) and proportional representation (wealth) where the proportion of representation you get is dependent on how much cash others in society have voluntarily given you in exchange for something they find valuable.
