Consider 2 nations:

In Nation A, the citizens can only vote for commerce regulations
In Nation B, the citizens can vote for both commerce regulations and benefits

In nation A, the citizens can only vote for commerce regulations, so they will continually vote for healthy commerce policies that create more commerce and better living conditions, right?

In nation B, Won't a sizeable % of the lower earning population show up to vote for benefits, and disregard better regulatory choices?

As the lesser earning citizens vote for more benefits paid for by the wealthy, instead of healthy regulations, won't the wealthier citizens then start voting to protect their wealth instead of voting for healthier regulations?

As the regulations worsen due to more citizens voting for benefits issues instead of healthy regulations, won't the regulatory functions become more unhealthy and the economy begin to suffer increasingly poor health and debt accrual?
