As if we don't have an oligarchy now whereby those with wealth and power solidify their position through the government? Well, I shouldn't be so general, as there is a difference between those who earned their wealth and those who abused government to do it.
Which is why voting should be more populist, not less.
And why I advocate a method to pass federal law via referendum.
Let the people themselves the chance to write legisalation so that we can get laws in place that won't be blocked by wealthy people paying campaign contributions to our Congressmen.
