A problem for democracy is people voting in their (perceived) economic interest, that's leads to the politics of electoral bribes, unrealistic promises and trying to distort the economy.
here's what you're not grasping. the rich are already doing that (using bribes to further their interests). why do their bidding? we (working people and the elites) have generally opposing interests.
these guys (working class conservatives, voting solely on wedge issues) are no more than useful idiots for the ruling elites.
if they weren't so bigoted and stupid, they'd be ashamed/embarrassed.
edit: also poors don't vote in our country.
