Description
How much is a vote worth? Is your vote and the big consortium's vote really equal? To control the money is to control the votes- democracy is always the winner of the money-spreader. Democracy in the 21st century is on the path of exhaustion! When money becomes an important player in the political arena, democracy has become a minority's game. Our democratic system has even consolidated this vicious circle-the richest citizens can express their political preferences through private donations, and the government will subsidize them through tax cuts; while the lower class people have heavy tax burdens in other areas.
