Being rich and successful isn't inherently evil, nor anti-democratic. Weak and corrupt governments who bend themselves to please evil people who are also rich, however, are very much a threat to democracy.
- Shared404 6y agoWell said. This is what I was trying to say, but I'm stupid. Edit 0: I would point out: weak governments bending over backward to rich people requires rich people opposed to good governments. Edit 1: See dbtc's comment. I removed the word evil from this comment.
- dbtc 6y agoAgreed, but using the word "evil" in a political context tends to suck all of the nuance out of the room. The rich who attempt to bend the government are certainly ALSO a threat to the democracy.

- anoncake 6y agoAs long as wealth means influence, people being rich is inherently anti-democratic.
