It's an oligarchy, meaning a few rich people control everything. https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-echochambers-27074746 Neutralizing the influence of big money in politics would solve many problems. Presidential candidate Andrew Yang has a solution that he calls "Democracy Dollars". Give each voter an annual allowance which can only be used for political contributions, so as to dilute the effect of lobbyists and ultrawealthy donors. https://www.yang2020.com/policies/democracydollars/ Edited December 12, 2019 by Guy F. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
