Journal Article
America's Oligarchy
2023
Overview
Why would the oligarchs, the ultimate puppet masters of civilization, want to have their power and control and global influences revealed for public inspection? A statement recently made by Bernie Sanders underscores the relevance of understanding American oligarchs. President Jimmy Carter stated in 2014 that the United States is now an oligarchy with unlimited political bribery due to the Citizens United v. FEC Supreme Court decision, which effectively removed limits on donations to political candidates by wealthy individual and organizations (Kreps, 2015). Recent U.S. examples are reducing taxation and limiting government regulation which used to limit but now permits giving leases to corporations to plunder the public domain's natural resources such as fossil fuels and grazing lands. The Southern oligarchy, following the Civil War, began to promote their interests by appealing to individualism to protect their political and economic purgatives after losing their control over national, state, and local governments.
