We have more than a two-tier system in the United States. We have a royalist system in the United States. The economic royalists (FDR's term) basically rule over everyone else, their undue influence enabling them to reach their corporate tentacles into every corner of our lives. From the food we eat to the water we drink to the healthcare we receive to the cost of education to the way we raise our children to how so many are shackled with debt that no one should have to carry, none of this is normal or acceptable in the richest country in the world. But absolutely, let's just keep voting for the status quo. It's working so well.... for them.
