Precisely why free market capitalism, private property rights, and individual liberty are incompatible with popular mass democracy. Our Founding Fathers understood this. That’s why they set up a limited government constitutional republic. The POTUS was to be chosen by the Electoral College. US Senators were to be chosen by the state legislatures. Voting in federal elections was limited only to property owners at the beginning of our republic. I now see the wisdom of that model.
