Concentration of Power in the US
Im sure this is old news to everyone but if Hillary manages to keep from falling apart won the presidency and served two terms we would have had either a Bush or a Clinton in the White House for 36 years straight. Does this not seem odd to anyone else? Why is it that so few families seem to control the political landscape in the United States?
At the point where you are choosing in between two sets of rich bureaucrats who have it in there self interest to serve their real masters the corporate interests and to increase the scope of the government do you even have a democracy anymore? In my mind our government is beginning to seem more like there is a ruling class or a ruling family per se rather than a true democratic process. Sure we all vote but if both choices are bought and paid for by the same special interest groups for the most part then what difference does it make? While im sure we are all aware of this at least to some extent, is there any way to reverse the cycle and get some sense of true representative democracy back in the US? Thoughts? |
