    The answer to our wealth disparity is to put power in the hands of the average person.

    Pay people to vote.

      At the very least we could make voting day a national holiday, so it isn’t costing people money to vote.

      Right now people are essentially being paid by their employers to not vote, and mostly just minimum wage.

          You’re right, and many will choose to work holidays in order to make extra money, because minimum wage isn’t really enough to support anyone.

          Still, the government should be doing everything in its power to make voting easy, accessible and penalty-free.
