Not really, because while the political leaders are elected by majority they don't have to act in accordance with the majority on all issues. In contrast: people are more likely to be compassionate towards issues that affect them. This could be fine in some areas. It does not seem fine to me in areas where wealth affects your voting power and the amount of wealth you have inevitably effects your position on the subject. The person who has inherited a million dollars is overwhelmingly more likely to believe to be the master of his own destiny than a crack baby.

I want to address the obvious red herring before it comes up: If this sounds a lot like lobbying, it is, and I don't care much for that either.
