Aren't most people in the U.S. plutocrats?

[Anarchist420]

If they aren't, then why are ~99% of our elected official plutocrats? Is it because war is popular? Is it because most people want to give all of their wealth to banksters? If you vote for a politician who doesn't favor abolition of the Fed, then you're a plutocrat!

The last President who did absolutely nothing plutocratic was Martin Van Buren. He was 36 Presidents ago!

I believe that if people aren't willing to give up excessive governmental power, then they're plutocrats.

You sure do believe a lot of things.


Do you think anyone else wants to hear about them every stinking day?

I know that by posting that I'm going against my own advice. But if people would stop responding to his threads, there is a good chance he will stop posting his stupid ideas about politics.

I highly doubt that. He'll still create retarded threads or make retarded responses in other threads.

Well, the responses we can't control, but at very least not responding will allow his thread to sink faster. (ok, this is my last post in an anarchist thread).

OP,
How do you define plutocrats?
How would you resolve this issue?

Like George Washington, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson et al weren't wealthy. If I remember my history trivia correctly, one of the Adams' was of average means but all the other founding fathers were very wealthy.
