62. Maybe we shouldn't call this country a Democracy to begin with.
Last I heard it was a Republic with no mention of a Democracy in the Constitution of the United States of America, or any of the fifty state constitutions for that matter. (But I'm sure none of our elected leaders have bothered to read those documents, anymore than they bother to read the legislation they are hired and paid to vote on)

But I digress. The lobbies do run this mess, and that makes this an Oligarchy. (Just like everyone else)



BTW, love your sig pic, makes a great background.
