They pay the most taxes, but they also pay the lowest percentage of taxes compared to the money and assets that they have.

What does the percentage has to do with anything? Do they have more percentage in voting? Or in the spending of the money they pay as taxes?

I don't know how people have the guts to pretend equality, but not in taxation. One human, one vote, one dollar.

> Do they have more percentage in voting?

Considering they basically own and operate the uniparty and its media apparatus, they have enormous influence over the entire electoral process and peoples' thoughts to a degree that makes any notions of 'democracy' illusory at best.

It was bad for decades, and then corporation-controlled social media brought the corruption to new heights.

That is just a bad deflection, not an answer to the point.
If the system is shown to be corrupt, the point becomes irrelevant.
