socialismartnature: (Photo) Financial wealth distribution in the U.S. as a percentage of Congress & Senate »  The U.S. ruling class, in its entirety, comprises the top 1-10% at the apex of society who own the vast majority of the wealth and resources, and control virtually the whole of the government. We do not have a democracy. We have a ‘bourgeois’ democracy. The ‘bourgeoisie — the capitalists, the ‘1%’ — have a democracy, where they discuss and debate through the mechanism of government how best to administer their collective affairs and extend their dominance over all others. For the rest of us, bourgeois democracy manifests itself as nothing more than the glorified dictatorship of the bourgeoisie.
