Plutocracy

Plutocracy is the rule by the wealthy, rather than by the people. The United States is not a democracy, but rather a plutocracy masquerading as being democratic. Numerous corporations have lobbied to the government, in turn acting legislation favoring corporations at the detriment of the working man. Conservatives only worsen the problem.

The Occupy protesters wish to change this, and create a more equal society. If society becomes more equal, with strong regulations to prevent the elite from regaining power, we can have a genuine democracy.
