Cut the middlemen so encourage the creation of more productive jobs, and further, allow the rich to buy extra votes as a means of redistributing wealth ..

If you cut out the middle man and just let the Koch brothers offer to buy votes on an open market then at least some money would flow to poor people.
Right now we know that legislators completely ignore the views of low-income people when deciding how to vote on issues and mostly just do what
rich people want. Letting people buy and sell votes would thus redistribute some income without necessarily changing policy dynamics very much.
