Okay, if you want to be that guy, then I'll also be that other guy and say the Democracy is "drowning in the free speech of a handful of wealthy people."

Is that much better though? And is that the system we should be content with? Or should be strive for an improved, more equal democracy?

At the end of the day the "money vote" greatly skews the "one person, one vote" principle, which is supposed to give everyone (or those who choose to take it) equal opportunity to influence government decisions. Clearly wealthy people have much more influence than a "single vote" in the U.S. plutocracy or than some random person in the U.S.
