Alright, the rich probablly have more then their fair share of influence in Washington but
1. giving them this influence was not a concious decision on anyone's part. Money has given people additional political influence since the begining of politics. Also
2. This plan doesn't do anything to stop that.
If I could take the influence of money out of politics I would, but thats a topic for another thread. The fact that one elite group already has a disproportionate share of power is not a very good argument for giving another elite group a disproportionate share of power.
