      no one person is single handedly making decisions for everyone else on a given subject. not on a system closer to the ideal.

      on our current system, yes, a few rich people are deciding most stuff for everyone else.

        No, as I said, the best you can get when you have a unrestricted democratic government is the majority making decisions for the minority. That’s still not good.
