power is one aspect but i think it is valid for billionaires to have power.
buying goods is the other aspect and the poor and the rich more or less consume similarly.
i do want to live in the world where money doesn't dictate _consumption_ as much as power. money has to mean something, and its good that it goes into power more than consumption. that means the poor can have a dignified life to buy what they want but they don't get to dictate how money will be allocated.
