I'm reluctant to sound so defeatist about the entire thing. Yes it is a plutocratic system in this sense - in that big banks are really holding sway over governmental decisions. But let's not just go hailing the death of democracy just because the plutocrats are winning at the moment. Democracy has always been a long struggle of the common people versus the elites, like a pendulum, and we've not yet lost that struggle.
