ptochocracy

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

The whole idea of redistributing weath, narrowing the gap between the rich and the poor, equality - whatever you want to call it, it's bullshit. It boils down to taking away the reward for working hard to, say, start a business, and give it to people who do not work hard. With less incentive to start a business, less people start businesses and everyone is poorer. Hooray for socialism! Destroyer of economies!
