It works right for them though. Curious question: Shouldn't those with a bigger stake in the economy have a bigger say in how it's ran?

Not in a representative republic, no. Those with more money don't need the safety net that all us governments spend the majority on the budget on. That's why the current coup is so terrifying.
But yes, it inevitably devolves into that in practice. Because money gives you more time to make your voice heard, or delegate it to someone else representing you. Or simply bribing others.
