In honor of the return of polls: which will win 21st century:one person one vote or...

one dollar one vote?

Right now it seems like the dollar model is so successful, they barely see the need to keep up the pretense of democracy.

But too many people are seeing that our votes are too often taken for granted by our representatives, and the major parties agree on too many of the ideas that hurt our middle and working class most, and even hurt other countries and the world as a whole.

So maybe the Occupy Movement, Arab Spring and the like are the beginning of the push back.

But who will win?
