This issue is no country has a true democracy. To rule for office, you need millions. To be a senator, you need hundreds of thousands, to have any kind of power, you need money......Then when you get elected, you only pass laws that benefit you.

True Democracy is impossible because of Corruption. That is unless you're like Sweden and spend tons of money so that every major law has pass a public vote, but that has drawbacks too.

I believe the whole reason why we have economic inequality in the developed world is because of Capitalism. Simply put, the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.

What poor people have gotten poorer? Can you show me a time when the living standards of the poor ever being better than they are now?

Economic equality was increasing rapidly throughout the last few hundered years until recently when the American government started rapidly expanding and corrupt politicians started taking "donations" from losers to keep the potential winners out of the marketplace.
