Plutocracy Quotes - page 2
The conflict is not really between royalty and democracy. It is between both and plutocracy, which, having destroyed the royal power by frank force under democratic pretexts, has bought and swallowed democracy.
Russell Kirk
In some... legislator's minds... like Mick Mulvaney... he really is mean, and he has no qualms of conscience. But I have met members of Congress... conservative Republicans, who do have qualms... John Boehner... the fictional character is Reginald Blamer, he came from a poor family of 11 children... so I have seen... people who have a public personae of ferocious oligarchy and plutocracy, but deep inside they know they're harming innocent people.
Ralph Nader
We should stop pretending that the US is a functioning democracy; Citizens United proves we are not-when the courts grant citizenship powers to corporations, money and greed become the nation's lifeblood, not the will of the people. The American people have allowed themselves to be dumbed down to the point that their opinions are easily manipulated by corporate-owned and controlled mainstream media. The inability to function as a viable component of government has resulted in the "peopleā fracturing into competing ideological and socio-economic fiefdoms. American democracy is little more than feudalistic plutocracy. It's an unsustainable model doomed to collapse in on itself.
