unfortunately the masses are much dumber > the real contributors to our society, but because their votes count the same as anyone else, the choices of the masses win elections and make bad choices Their "political votes" appear to count the same but if society rewards them then their economic power gives them outsized "economic votes". Every dollar spent is a vote for the service or product it is spent on.
