>the interests of the rich and the nonrich are systematically at odds
This is not universally true. It is not true across individuals among the rich/nonrich nor is it true across specific agenda items. This caricature you've created for these two groups is called classism. You are no better than the people who think all poor people are stupid or lazy.
>yet only one of these groups have any great power to see to it that their interests are served.
Okay, let's talk about campaign finance reform. Or is making sure there's no rich people more important to you than making sure everyone has equal political power?
