While a democracy bestows each citizen with a vote, it is just not true that everyone has a "roughly equal say in how things go". Power, influence and money are all unequal. Martin Luther King had more say in "how things go" than i ever will even though we each can only cast one vote each. The authority rests in each citizen equally but power will always be unequal

I choose how wealth is distributed every time I make a purchase. As do you.
