Moneyocracy: the government rules by the the majority of the money, not of the people.

>Because democracy has to be bought these days.

What a naive thing to say. The cornerstone of representative government has always been supporting a candidate whose views align with your own. This includes campaign contributions along with voting for the candidate, volunteering for their campaign, and getting out word that they're running.

Always?

I think originally it was something to do with having land and privilege, or being a free citizen and not a slave. And definitely male... Then you could have a say.

And naive? Sure is, I like the naive view of democracy - that we all ought to have equal say in the way things are run, regardless of monetary or time contributions to a campaign.
