Kleptocracy
An epiphany I had yesterday: the US has become a classic kleptocracy. You got the small, self styled elite enriching themselves at the public’s expense (tax cuts, pork barrel, “faith based initiative”, “reconstruction of Iraq”) and a repressive regime at home coupled with militairy adventurism abroad to distract the public and a quiescent media, either directly or indirectly controlled by the same elite.
What do you think?
