In fact, I would be more in favor of reducing the political franchise of the wealthy, because unlike everyone else, the wealthy can really insulate themselves from society’s problems. They can buy huge plots of land, vacation homes in other countries, houses in gated communities in the best neighborhoods, and they can afford private security.

They don’t have to be as responsible with their political choices; they don’t have to suffer if they vote for the wrong people or the wrong party, because the problems that result from their poor political choices will never really hurt them. It is the rest of us, the poor and middle class, that must suffer if they are irresponsible and unaware of the societal-wide consequences of their political choices, and that’s if they even care about us at all!
