oh how I wish I could... I agree there is an asymetry in influence of "the wealthy" to "legislation", compared to the influence of "the many", especially in the US.
yet it's not as simple as Bill calls Angie and then Angie makes a bill for bill.
some things that help "the many" are proportional representation (in contrast to fptp based systems) and popular vote, see Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands...
I wonder what it takes short of a war to get such dramatic improvements into an established democracy?
