Money is Representation
Political fulfillment and economic fulfillment are the same thing. When you think about it, money is not only speech, as the supreme court ruled. It is representation itself. Money transcends opinion and beliefs. Money provides more choice. It is a measure of freedom and a measure of authority. Wealth is the true political measure on the spectrum. It is not left or right, conservative or progressive. The measure or your wealth defines your position on the political spectrum, not what you believe. Increasing inequality is the same as a transfer of representation from one group to another.
Your wealth is more likely to define what you believe, more so than it's likely to effect public policy.
Wealth is a much better measure of position on the political spectrum, compared to what someone believes. That's why we should assign congressional representatives according to tax-brackets, it will be more representative of the population.
