UNO

As I see it, America today seems as though it is controlled by power "elites". Without een knowing much about our government or it's structure, you can literally see who is most powerful: rich white men. This also aligns with Noam Chomsky's idea to me. American power looks out for it self and it's people. And yes, you guessed it--weathly white men look out for weathly white folk.
However, to display an image that allows them to be more widely supported, this group tries to appear more pluralist. Instead of looking power hungry (all of the time), these leaders seems to show concern for issues facing other groups such as homelessness, and perhaps social welfare in general. They pass laws or acts but these issues seem to always fade in the background and grow worse. Perhaps I think even less of these "elites" than Noam Chomsky does. All I can hope is for is a new power grou, at least one that seems to truly care.
