O say can you see, the U. S. Oligarchy? Apr 6th 2012, 00:19 O say can you see, the U. S. Oligarchy? The U. S. is on sale. Buy it while it's hot. O say can you see, by the dawn's early light, what so proudly we hailed we now proudly renounce. democracy http://blog.ted.com/2008/09/17/the_real_differ/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-14SllPPLxY Plato theorized that democracies, as they matured, evolved into oligarchies or plutocracies. We are witnessing exactly that. When the new political election funding laws came into effect, the U. S. democratic system became an oligarchy or plutocracy. Billionaires are now buying political candidates and are in fact buying the leadership of the nation. They are now the power behind the throne and control the government and thus the people. Now, instead of working 9 to 5, Americans are working 24/7. When did the U. S. devolve from the leading democracy of the West, to a tyranny up for sale? Regards DL
