We wouldn't have no voice, but it would be pretty miniscule. To some extent money does buy elections via influence, perception, and advertising. But most of this manipulation is not out of a place of malice.

I'm sure the rich and powerful do things they think are right, but sometimes lack the exposure to others to really care a lot of the implications of certain decisions. A lot of people fight for control because they think what they are fighting for is right, but they often fail to see viewpoints from all vantage points.

That goes for everybody. That might be the fundamental problem with governance. Conflict and a lack of perspective. Some thoughts.
