[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 2580258, member: 1294"] Does it go farther than just elections, how about the power buying that goes on through graft and corruption that we see in so many areas which is almost never dealt with because of the lack of accountability and more equal under the law that some have and others don't? And has that situation effected the mentality of many Americans and the divisions we see today? Some contend we're a democracy while others argue we're supposed to be a Republic, is the truth really that we're an oligarchy as stated in a recent study? Study: US is an oligarchy, not a democracy [url]http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-echochambers-27074746[/url] Scholar Behind Viral 'Oligarchy' Study Tells You What It Means [url]http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/princeton-scholar-demise-of-democracy-america-tpm-interview[/url] [/QUOTE]
