do you think USA is a Plutocracy?

[Nas]

Plutocracy: a government run by the rich; also, a controlling or influential class of rich men.


do you think or is it a fact that there is a society that has power over the USA?
i think there is a society like that and i think they are the ones who do not want Communism or socialism

Oviously the United States is run by the rich....but lets see here.....This is what I think and this is what most PEOPLE think

America is a Democracy I don't care about what the rest of you think America is one of the more freerer nations they were the first nation to set up a Consitution and a Government where the people elect a President and such. Anything can happen in America anyone can be rich everyone has the chance to live life to its fullist.
We the people of the United States in order to form a more perfect Union esabablish justice, ensure Demoestic tranquility, provide for the comman deffense, premote the General welefare (That is the one lie) and ensure happiness or something like that for our proserity.

Anyway........We the people of the United State elect all our represenatives and Presidents.....but the one thing we don't elect are the rich.

The people own only about 10% to 15% of the United States
The Federal Government own about 25% to 30% of the United States
Well guess where the other 55% is owned by.......The Private companys and the rich fat cats. The Native Americans own around 2% of the land but also are big Casinos owners. Ok who are these rich Fat Cats you may ask well............

Hollywood actors own 10% of the 55%
The Oil Companies own 15% out of the 55%
Relestates, Ex-Presidents and their Cabinet,Elvis's Daughter.
Governers, Stock Investers, are all cramed into 15% of the land out of the 55. The leaves anthor 15%........I am thinking that that 15% is given to Bill Gates and all his computar companies. All these companies and privalaged few run the country not the Farmers of Nerbraska, The Sailers of Massacutsets, The Hispanics of the Napal Valley........The Capitalists I just said and the oil miners in Texas who wants to cut down all the trees in the world.

Not all my acurate.......so don't critize me on it I am making a ruff estimate.
Sorry about Spelling

i think there is a group running the world. an elitist group that decides what goes where and when, who fights with who. kill all who threaten the mission of ruling the world. as disturbing s it sounds thats how i think it is. with onl only 385 billionaires owning 50% of the worlds wealth, how can one argue the fact that they dont have a a large say in whats goin on?

[RedAnarchist]

The USA is the epitome of a plutocracy in my opinion.

How many of the members of your Government have links to major companies?

[Pawn Power]

alot of the world, the US exspecially is controlled, abused, and taken advantage of by the rich elite. This one of the main puposes to change to a communist socity, so the workers can get the benifits from their labor.

If you honestly think that then you must be extremely uninformed.

I also though that obvious-answer questions had a tendance to stay in the Opposing Viewpoints section.
