Abstract

As students, children of yesterday and today are being brought up to believe the United States is a "Democracy", and that we are a pluralistic society. We were taught the "working class" had a say-so in elections and that power was widely distributed. This, however, is a myth. The fact is, power is held by only a few (an oligarchy). The elites in this oligarchy hold the power in big business and government offices are not for the interest of the common people or "working class" whether it be health care, a good education, enough to eat, affordable housing etc...These elites or "owning class" are out for profit and will use the "working class" by paying low wages, outsourcing, cutting benefits, anything to make profits soar.
