A study by Princeton and Northwestern universities shows that a small group of elite have control over the general population and the government only supports the rich and powerful while the masses have no say whatsoever. The 42 page report concludes "we believe that if policymaking is dominated by powerful business organizations and a small number of affluent Americans, then America's claims to being a democratic society are seriously threatened."

    In the run-up to the Iraq war there were few that were really informed. How many actually voted, then voted for the next elections? There was no follow through over the years it would take. Getting informed and involved is one thing, staying informed and involved is entirely different. It doesn't take much time or energy and a vote every two years. How much different world things be if we had 75% informed voter turnout?
