"Is America becoming an oligarchy where the average citizens has little
to no power? New research shows average Americans have little to no sway
on the political process unless their views happen to line up with those
of economic elites or special interest groups."

A good point well presented.  I'd be interested to see how this looks in
other democratic countries.
