I do not think anyone is sstating that Liberal economic policies are categorically forbidden the question is if the Economic Model found in Chazal follows it.
The ansewer is that it is fundementally a lot closer to the Conservative model then the Liberal Progressive model.
And by the way you do realize that the Rema you qouted does state quite plainly that “all those that pay taxes” have a vote.
In other words the ones decideing are those that are paying the bills.
Much like the American Founders who made rules that only “landowners” had votes.
