I really wish you chronic troll complainers could wrap your head around the fact that the reward fund is a redistribution of whale funds. Why you think you should complain about how whales redistribute their own assets is beyond me. It is trolling.

Isn't that what this post is doing. Dan is using his vote to redistribute the rewards while berniesanders whines about it.
Dan's vote is fundamentally different from berniesander's vote. Dan's voting power comes from free steem power given to him by steemit. Steemit ninja mined (with an unfair and dubious relaunch and other unfair practices) under the pretense that their "earnings" would go towards development of the platform. Instead it was given directly to insiders like dan who use it to allocate the reward pool. The legitimacy of steem was based on a pretense which has proven to be a lie.
It may be reasonable to compensate developers from this initial ninja mine, but it is not reasonable for them to control the platform in a way that further funnels money to them. Dan is one of the biggest exploiters of the platform and has, along with his hundreds of thousands of dollars in steem power, which are ample compensation for a few months of work, has a history of enriching himself using his free voting power at the expense of the reward pool.
My steem power wasn't "free". I gambled my time and energy to earn it. Dan and Ned are doing the same. We all spend something to get the steem that we have, and while many of us are bitter about how much power the early adopter whales have those same whales are ironically bitter about how much power the blockchain creators have.
