Whole "democracy" thing is legal framework that wealthy and powerful people built to make safe wealth transfer down the generations possible while giving away as little as possible to average joe.

In a countries without this legal framework its usually free for all fight every time ruling power changes. Not good for preserving capital.

So wealthy having more rights is system working as intended. Not inherently bad thing either as alternative system is whoever best with AK47 having more rights.

Sorry but I do not feel this way. "Not inherently bad thing either" - I think it is maddening and has to be fixed no matter what. You know, wealthy generally do not really do bad in dictatorial regimes either.

		> "You know, wealthy generally do not really do bad in dictatorial regimes either." Until they found dead with unexpected heart attack, their car blow up or they fall out of the window. In dictatorship vast majority of wealthy people no more than managers of dictators property. Usually with literal golden cages that impossible to sell and transfer. Once person fall out of favor or stop being useful all their "wealth" just going to be redistributed because it was never theirs.
