I think something in between Karl Marx and Fox News would be a work best.
The U.S. is virtually an oligarchy now. I was looking at an item on TV where employee pension plans were being raided in part to pay the obscene severance and pension plans of the executive. I was working for Global Crossing which bought telecommunications companies whose shareholders were in part employees pension plans. Executives took loans of $23 million dollars which were forgiven, lavish expenses and political expenditures to secure their future. One documented 'gift' was the payment to George Bush senior $50,000 worth of stock to do a speech. Just before the bankruptcy, George Bush sold these shares for $14.5 million. In the dust, people in the blink of an eye, lost most of their pensions to these bloodsuckers. Friends of mine that were going to retire had to change their plans because they lost so much money.
The average Joe on the US (to a lesser extent us) are getting raped in an unprecedented greed binge. I'm amazed that the protests haven't been more violent but I doubt this is over yet.
