Selected how? The house/senate split in the us gives more vote to people in less populated areas and it's generally considered an okay idea.



my point exactly, yet in a free market economy the rich have a lot more money to 'vote' than the poor. Wealth is inherited (for no valid reason).

Poor families stay poor, rich stay rich.

In our political metaphor, it is the same as totalitarianism, the powerful stay powerful through use of force, and weak stay weak.

Why do the same people advocate polar opposites regarding politics and economy?
