"He who has the gold makes the rules"
The ruling class in our American society is thought to have less control than in other nations, simply because of the state of our democracy. Arguably, the facts are that the ruling class has stayed the same in our country for its entire history. The upper class in our only representation, those witht the money making the rules in government and all politcal policy. Government has given the weaker class a voice but does not traslate this voice into action. The upperclass gernerating the rules and make up for this nation has their best interest in mind in all decision making, understandably. The foundation of capiltalism is to get ahead, stay head, a notion that is practiced with a continuation of the ruling class. Our society dynamic is formed by the seperation of classes and the ruling class able to control the lower class. We dont want everyone to be fail, equal and prevledged, it would cause a massive economic explosion. The United States, and every nation, needs a balance of social groups in order for our fast paced lives to function. Not everone can be an excecutive or a president of a major corporation, it is savd for the elite. For better or for worse our society is based off what money you have or are able to generate. Thats why most go to school, to become an asset for a company, a potential pod for money. For those who have money it is a tool to network with others who have money, to make more money. The ruling class and the shaping of our nation will not change and if it did, would it be for the best?
