United States Oligarchy



I think that the United States is like an oligarchy. There is one appointed leader in (Barack Obama) but yet he still has many people under him that are able to take his spot if anything were to happen. Like in New York city there is a list of only 36,000 people who can carry a gun and most of them on the list are celeberties, billionairs , and politians. The rest are filled up by citizens. But what makes it okay for those people to have the chance and the regular living people out there dont even have the chance. It is because the government is trying to make sure that its people dont fight back against there government. That is an oligarchical society where only certain people can do what they want. Most of them are high in power.


In the end this government that were in only wants us to vote for the people that they give us a chance to vote for. No regular citizen could get elected because they wont have the qualifications or arent smart enough to lead this country. The reason why this country is for sure an oligarchy is because there is only certain people who make the decisions in the end. Our government is alot like Oceania because there is one person that is saying he is making all the decisons but in the end it comes down to him and all of his other helpers to make laws and make other things happen.
