Why is this comment down-voted?<p>In democracy, you can spend money on a PR campaign to sway many millions of votes your way.<p>And as another commenter noted, once a candidate is in place, lobbyists can pay to get proper legislation passed.<p>Finally, voting is rigged in any place where voting computers are installed, which appears to be a lot of places. Again, for the right money, you can completely change the course of an election.
