Daily Poll: Has America Become a Plutocracy?

By , About.com GuideJune 11, 2006

Follow me on:

America was founded as a democratic republic - it didn't start out as democratic as people assume, but the democratic elements grew stronger over time as people became accustomed to them and demanded more. Today, though, there are questions about just how democratic America remains. Are the people still sovereign, or has America in effect become a kind of plutocracy?
