I know you weren't. Just a thought, what government isn't effectively a plutocracy? Our original government required you to be a land owner to exercise political power. The Electoral College was created to prevent the plebs from electing someone unsuitable to be POTUS. Government officials respond to people with power. Money is a huge determinant of that power. Outside of a dictatorship like Putin's or Kim's the rich have an extremely inordinate amount of power in pretty much every nation.
