Wealth is power. Power decides what we use our collective time and resources on. The more concentrated power is, the less we use that time and resources on things that improves the life of the average person, and more on things that matter to the few with wealth.


By far the biggest concentration of power is the US federal government.

Any power centers outside that decentralizes power.


Sure, but in its current form that power can be bought and therefore mostly serves the interests of capital. That should be obvious at this point.
