Do we really have democracy in the west, or are we in fact ruled by an oligarchy, which consists of an elite and corporations?

I think whereever you are, its never a true democracy, because power is not with the people, its with the , well, powerful wealthy few. Unfortunately its true, and the majority is sadly brainwashed by corporations that tell them what to think.

Very very true, I figured this out no so long ago, maybe awhile. But ive bewen deep in study. I know we are based upon a REBUBLIC. which is the peoples rights. The law....but somehow we become a democracy. The people votes. which turned into an oligarchy, which is...1 man as front, a group in the back (corporations) - fedreal reserve...bankers. Which scary enough...since weve fallen, fallen, fallen, will eventually turn into a dictaror...which will be the man with the money, the man who owns all...the man who has the politics, the faces...the aw of the people. Be careful...spread the info, what happened to America?
