I agree, wealth and power are closely related right now. But why? We could focus our energies on the distribution of power instead of the distribution of wealth. We could create a world where power and wealth were not so closely correlated. Arguably, our original constitutional government was a lot closer to that than we are today. That was when we had apportionment of 1:100000 in the U.S. House. That was when State governments elected their senators. That was when it was assumed that any State could withdraw from the Union, that any county could withdraw from a State. It was before a massive, centralized federal government.
