- Title
Is the Reason Some Wealthy People Oppose Democracy Deeper Than We Think?
- Authors
Hartmann, Thom
- Abstract
Why are America's plutocrats funding efforts to weaken our democracy and replace it with plutocracy and oligarchy? As Reagan told us in his first inaugural, democracy was not the solution to our problems, but democracy -- government -- instead was the problem itself. From Donald Trump all the way down to the lowest Republican county official, efforts to make it harder for what John Adams called "the rabble" to vote and otherwise participate in democracy are in full swing across America.
