The rich are getting richer, the poor poorer.

The US government does not represent the interests of the majority of the country’s citizens, but is instead ruled by those of the rich and powerful, a new study from Princeton and Northwestern Universities has concluded.

The report, entitled Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens, used extensive policy data collected from between the years of 1981 and 2002 to empirically determine the state of the US political system.

After sifting through nearly 1,800 US policies enacted in that period and comparing them to the expressed preferences of average Americans (50th percentile of income), affluent Americans (90th percentile) and large special interests groups, researchers concluded that the United States is dominated by its economic elite.

Unfortunately for those rich elite, they only get one vote. Those getting poorer and poorer also get one vote.

Eventually, no matter how bad the Democrats are, Republicans will lose every election.

The GOP must change or go the way of the dodo bird.
