jbg Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 nice article clearly displaying that any of our current democratic systems seem to strangely support severe plutocracy (ie. rule by the rich).http://sociology.ucsc.edu/whorulesamerica/power/wealth.html But given the sizeable middle class and the lack of barriers to mobility, this wealth contrast does give something attainable for people to strive for.
