If, in some democratic nation, the votes of the poor were given more weight, would the distribution of wealth automatically even out over time?

And, many voters don't care about their local politicians or even know who they are and what issues they have, especially among the young.  It's easy to think all local politicians have the same attitude of proliferating signs and TV ads, lambasting their opponent, and generally doing their own job decently regardless of whether one or the other wins.  This applies to local, state, and federal.

People need some way to be informed of who they're voting for, but not in a loud TV ad sort of way.  They need an objective overview of the facts, without bias and manipulation.  They need to care about issues, and understand that no vote means some rich lobby group will get its way.  People believe that "everythign will balance out whether I vote or not," but with manipulative lobby groups this is no longer the case.
