Well it kinda is the same, in any transaction today two people vote to transfer goods and the rest of the people in the country vote to take a percentage of that as tax.

We only need to make sure that decisions affect the smallest number of people possible and only those who make decision bear its good or bad consequences.

Same can work with other issues, like do we want to build a road or stadium, how do we want to deal with homeless in our part of the city etc.

Online, open voting, with possibility to trade votes, and requirement to reach almost 100% accept vote for decisions, can work much better than systems we have now.

As for average person being not smart, average buyer poorly understands biology, and ends up buying things that are harmful to eat or eats to much, but we do not have representative doctors who will decide who eats how much in restaurants. The important thing is to create an arrangement where poor choices of a person do not affect others.
