First of all, the US was NEVER a democracy in the literal sense of the word, it's a Republic.
Second of all, name one nation on the face of this Earth where the wealthy and politically connected DON'T have more power and influence than the average citizen. The difference is that in many nations around the globe the average citizen has very little, if any, rights.
This article does nothing except push the latest talking points from the political left-wing that the rich are evil and control everything, yet the hypocrisy here is that they have no problem when the wealthy throw money and support behind left-wing causes... see Michael Bloomberg's $50 million self-funded push for gun control, for example. You don't see the "anti-1%" left-wing in this country refusing his money, do you?

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
