Easy, it does not work that way. Like the US, it does not matter how many dollars you have involved, you still only get 1 vote. If money were votes then Bill Gate and Donald Trump would be trying to vote themselves into the presidency.

As far as rich people having more at stake then others. Well that there is a false statement if you change the lost monetary value into a percentage of what the rich persons net worth is. To me a 150.00 dollar loss would be about the same as a 5000 dollar loss to someone that is worth more then myself.
Conversely, then, your $21 Slow Stick is worth the same to you as my $10,000 Fiberclassics Mig-29. Therefore, you should pay the same rate.
