After reading some articles and thoughts about this topic, I found this old quote in one of them which sums up what I feel:
We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both.
Louis D. Brandeis
This was quoted in early 20th century, but I think it gets even more relevant with technological progress, as the rich have first access to tools which further perpetuates their superiority over lower classes. One important tool is to dominate major media channels, and distract the public discussion away from things like corruption, transparency and democracy.
