You may be right, but until the premise is questioned, it's veracity cannot be tested.
I think the rich will certainly use their money to buy whatever election they feel affects their interests. I'm not naive.
But I also think that they cannot do so obviously, for fear of allowing the electorate a peek behind the curtain, which means that mounting pressure from the electorate can, and should, be felt. But only if the electorate accepts its responsibility[/i].
Whether that will happen, I'm unsure.
