Plutocracy In The United States Essay

Nowadays, many situations are happened because of money and power such as war, education, corruption, sanction and etc. This world is driven by those things as same as Tadeus Boworski, a polish writer and journalist, said “The world is ruled by power and power is obtained by money.”

At present, the world has many systems of government, for instance, in Ancient Greece, Roam Empire and modern day United States which control the nations by plutocracy. Plutocracy is a system of government in which control and rule country by the richest people in country. In modern day United States is the one from of plutocracy in democratic form. As everyone knows United States is social democracy, everyone have the right to choose what they want. Someone said United State is the original of democracy but in United State women, even white women of property, didn’t get the vote until 1920 and remain significantly under represented in political office.

Many wars which United States joined such as war in Syria or in Iraq, majority of USA citizens didn’t agree with it; however, the military didn’t withdraw. They joined the war for purpose that someone conceived and referred to some capitalist who wanted the oil under the country they took part in for commercial purpose. Recorded in CBS News Polls, Seventy-five percent of USA citizens do not think the Iraq War was worth to the loss of American lives and other costs of attacking Iraq, up eight percentage points since 2011. If USA didn’t have money, they can’t involve the war so that was the cause of question where

they got money from.

If the government got money from taxes which citizens have paid then why the government didn’t stop participate in this war to follow the majority opinion. In case of USA was respect in equality of humanity, why they didn’t respect sovereignty of another country and join the war without permission of people in that country such as Syria. Or because USA is great power and have big source of investment funds so they have the power and right to join in.

Marxism is the interesting concept of society about everyone is equal. It’s sound good but in practice, it’s an ideal. When people assemble, the problems will show up and sometimes they can’t manage it. They want someone or some groups are the representative of them to decide and manage the problems. It likes they pleased to hand on their right and power to the other and the one they’ll empower, is the one they know and believe such as who have money to support their decision or who has power from many connection. Finally it will turn out to oligarchy or

plutocracy.
In conclusion, It is not because people should rule by the government or someone but they want to depend on something. Something’s important such as money nor power or both of them. Power and money are the things that going together. If people have only power but no money support, nothing can be done in the same way as they have only money and don’t have power support.
