Case of USA is a Plutocracy

The US is basically a plutocracy—where rich people hold the real power. They use lobbying and big donations to control laws and get better access than regular folks. Policies keep helping the wealthy while everyone else struggles with stagnant wages and higher costs. Media is owned by a few, shaping what we hear to protect elite interests. This isn’t true democracy—just power for the wealthy few.

Way to think about it.
Local neighborhoods decide how their taxes are spent not distant governments.

Businesses must be honest and fair and people can easily see what they do.

-Schools teach kids how to be responsible citizens not just how to obey.

-Citizens have real power to say no when companies or government act unfairly.

Civic Sovereignty Implemented under capitalism cont.

• Citizens have the tools to challenge unfair practices and participate directly in shaping laws.
• Schools teach financial literacy, civic engagement, and accountability—not just obedience.
• Wealth is earned, but freedom is shared. Everyone plays by the same rules.
