I'm not sure what relevant point you are trying to make with this comment, to be honest. I didn't really say anything about class or country or anything of the like.

I'm simply talking about the nature of money and its relationship to general prosperity.

Modern democracy hasn't been around very long. Maybe what I'm observing is inevitable. Church possibly helped keep this all in check. But that influence has been undermined.

If you're jsut trying to say that democracy is a bad political system, I agree.

It's not optimal for the minority, but arguably works well for the majority. Not convinced that any other system would work better though.
