Some good points here, especially in relation to curation history/reputation. However, it sounds like you're complaining b/c the "rich" have more "power". This is just the reality of the world in which we live and no blockchain, technology, or socialist ideological hope is going to ever change that.

The world, the universe, is build on the principle of give and take, equilibriums just do not exist.

To put this in perspective; If everyone's vote was the same, where would the demand to purchase more STEEM come? Altruism? I think you're leaving out one of the most important and genius aspects of STEEM, the economics.
