political science

1) Are we still a democracy, a system of, for, and by the people, where we are all equal? Or are the rich dominating the American Political Process? Where do the poor and middle class have a say in our political process? Will love to hear your comments. Steve

2) One of the fundamentals of American democracy is the right to Vote, yet why do only 40% of Americans take part in the political process or VOTE? Is there something wrong with our political system or have many Americans lost faith in our democracy? Will love to hear your comments. Steve

3) If we, America, are the leading figure on democracy in the world, why do so many Americans believe that our political system has favored the elite and rich? Is the political playing field level?

4) Do we all have rights as stated on the basis of democracy or are our rights held only for the rich and wealthy in America?
