Democracies disperse political power through full participation and one vote for each citizen. This should result in more wealth equality as a matter of government policy. Right?

Event Details
By definition, authoritarian regimes and dictatorships exclude the vast majority of the people from the political process. History demonstrates that when the few are empowered in this way, they tend to grab most of the society's wealth for themselves and inequality is rampant. By definition, democracies disperse political power through full participation and one vote for each citizen. It is a radically equal political arrangement. Logically, this should result in more wealth equality as a matter of government policy. But does it?
