[quote=Anonymous]I don't think people realize that there are a bee very influential people who control US politics. In a Democracy, it's possible for this to happen.  Define Democracy because it's not like we have free choice over many things.  This idea that people are still electing those who run our country is naive and I'm not talking about fair elections.  There's money that buys how things go.  Don't fool yourselves thinking that just because there is more freedom to express yourself in the US that it means we are all on the same terms.  Money in the US works like anywhere else in the world.  You need more to influence here but it buys you the same power abs influence as it does in those countries you all think are corrupt.  It looks cleaner here but white collar crime as they say is just as bad if not worse than street.

I'm not suggesting the US is a corrupt society on the whole but at the very highest levels of government we live like everyone else - money buys you power. [/quote]
