Not all wealthy people are Plutocratic or Aristocratic.

Of course, not all wealthy People are Plutocrats or Aristocrats. Don't get me wrong. People can have plenty money and possessions and still be 'Democratic in spirit'. Nevertheless, the burden is on them. Its the same with the People at the Bottom. All People at the bottom are not necessarily, Democratic. Obviously, the reason is that anyone at the Bottom of government, must 'live' his/her democracy. S/he must understand that the guy or gal, next to him or her, is 'also' "free and equal", and, unfortunately, not many, can do that. Some individuals can have 'auras' of 'superiority' simply because of reasons based on 'Race, Color, or Creed'. In other words, neither the Top nor the Bottom is automatically 'democratic', simply from the position, social or political, they may hold in the 'democratic arrangement' in the Nation. That's why I say that the Top is under obligation to the Constitution, and the Bottom is under obligation to 'live democratically'; not 'selfishly', nor isolated from a 'democratic spirit'. That's also the reason for pointing out that 'economic values' have 'supplanted' Democratic values, and have 'seeped' into the political arena. Once economic values 'seep' into the political arena, the 'standard' for participating in a 'viable democracy', can very easily, become a matter of money and possessions. It should be obvious to everyone, that 'political or democratic' values apply to both the Top and the Bottom of Government. These Democratic values permeate the entire system of life within a Nation. However, 'economic values' are situated within the Capitalistic structure of the economy and are determined by 'success or failure' within the economic system. Economic values are not based on 'freedom and equality', they are based on 'profits', and economic competition; more of the same; and in some cases, greed. That is not to say, that all rich people are greedy. Neither, are we saying that all poor people are 'democratic'. Nevertheless, whether fortunately, or unfortunately, the bottom line is the 'human condition'. How easily we 'forget' our 'humanity', and our 'condition of togetherness'; and how easy, it is to come under 'obligation' to our 'monies and possessions'.
