If you want to have fun with H.L. Hunt, track down Mike Royko’s interview with him, I believe in 1968. HL shared with his descendants the idea that democracy was biased against the obscenely rich, and forcefully lobbied for a constitutional amendment that gave additional votes to the rich. One additional vote for every $1 million in gross value, for instance.
That surprises me not one iota. Not shared from his Playboy interview is a discussion of his novel "Alpaca," where a South American country ushers in utopia by adopting this exact concept. Rich people deserve more votes because clearly they're more worthy than the poors with less money.
