No it does not. We have what I like to think of as a "monetocracy", where dollars are proportional to votes. Simplistically, one dollar = one vote, but definitely not one man/woman = one vote. It replaced the "slightly" unpalatable feudalism of many centuries ago. The current system keeps us "happy" by providing an illusion of choice.
