Wow this is really shocking and very informative ....thanks for the enlightenment...."the United States is an oligarchy not a democracy ". This statement is certainly shocking, that one of the most advanced country on this planet is being controlled by a few number of people...actually I think that applies to almost all the countries...the common citizen is made to believe that they have a say in how the country is ruled but in actual reality they don't !!! This is really sad ....this is not democracy !!!!!
