As someone who has close relationships with many rich people I can say this has not been remotely true for any of them..
I mean there are evil rich people, no doubt, but they are no more inherently evil than the poor or anyone else.
Having coercive influence doesnt make you evil... it makes the system corrupt and unfair.. there is nothing wrong wanting to turn democratic processes into ones where money doesnt determine the power of your opinion... thats a very good thing... but that doesnt justify an argument trying depict a fantasy where rich people are inherently more evil, nor does it make the OPs post any less false.
@freemo @pezmico Agree, but measuring coercive influence allows you to better prioritize who/what to focus your analysis and exposure efforts on
