I agree with @teamsteem - we have a saying in India - 'Up there is God, and down here its Money'.
But @fyrstikken is making a valid point.
I believe that the reason people are starving around the world is that people with money have bought 'votes' and are now deciding what according to them is best.
They think that it doesn't matter what happens to all those people starving - they go about their lives and build more weapons and start wars to make sure that they always remain in power.
To remain in power these same people 'rig' the voting system and buy the votes and the whole circle starts all over again.
That is why you have 1% of the people owning 99% of the world's wealth.
If the votes are being sold and bought here on Steem - then it's the same scenario repeating itself.
In the real world, it's difficult to get rid of such politicians - I hope this is not the case on Steem.
Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and all other Social networks will eventually perish because of this very reason, they want to make money at other people's expense - as is happening with @mericanhomestead.
Steem may be the first one of it's kind - but remember Facebook came after MySpace.
I get you.
At the same time I think those who will pay for vote on Steem should make less profit in the long run than those who don't have to pay for vote but are creating genuine consensus.
Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Yes we have to identify such people by analyzing and we have to make some group who stand for the protection of steem. Our comment will be a symbol of a good post or so.. but its not a very good idea .. need some good suggestions.
