where each person rich or poor has approximatelly the same weight
I completely disagree with that. Is there really a meaningful difference between how much influence the average person has over Bezos and a government? I would argue both rounds down to zero. With Bezos, people can at least boycott his companies and refuse to fund him directly. They don't have that option with governments.
A rich person, on the other hand can have a lot of influence over a government, but very little over Bezos.
I don't think it's obvious who the liars are. It's obvious who can afford the best lawyers, but I think this result is about equally likely regardless of who is lying.
