[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 7553736, member: 818"] I don't think there's that many of those. In order to be able to live off you own wealth (not live off payments made by the State in the form of benefits or pensions) you need a lot of capital. And given most people's capital is tied up in their house, not many people are in that class of people. Certainly not enough to have any political clout at the ballot box anyway. Now one could argue that although they are small in number they have a disproportionately large effect on politics via because of their wealth. Thats undoubtedly true. But the fact remains that they are VERY small in number and can be outvoted at the ballot box in a trice, should the rest of society decide to do so. [/QUOTE]
