US Is an Oligarchy Not a Democracy, says Scientific Study

A study, to appear in the Fall 2014 issue of the academic journal Perspectives on Politics, finds that the U.S. is no democracy, but instead an oligarchy, meaning profoundly corrupt...

In America, money talks... and democracy dies under its crushing weight.

-------

My take on it... if you wish to do good make money, weigh the cost of making money with the amount of good you do. If you wish to play ruler.

-------

Also seriously, wtf RnF, pick up your game. Crazy spammers like me should not be able to win at forumquest so eazily.
