Gouvernement des riches, par les riches et pour les riches? ( Harold Meyerson, Washington Post)

Jamais dans l'histoire américaine, même pas pendant la révolution industrielle, l'écart entre les riches et les pauvres n'a été aussi important. Harold Meyerson explique ici pourquoi ce phénomène serait important pour la campagne électorale.

 "Most polling tends to confirm this view of the United States as a house divided. But a new survey of our compatriots’ beliefs from the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI), which queried a far larger number of respondents than typical polls, has unearthed one area of remarkable agreement: Across party lines, Americans believe that our economic system is rigged to favor the wealthy and big corporations, and that our political system is, too — so much so that by nearly a 2-to-1 margin (64 percent to 36 percent), Americans believe their “vote does not matter because of the influence that wealthy individuals and big corporations have on the electoral process.”
