Maybe not, but the US is presently an Ogliarchy who have the power and use that power to gain more power.

The argument goes, in fact, that some of the most powerful people in the country thought they were an oligarchy until very recently. And now they're a bit flummoxed. See for reference the endogenous collapse of the GOP leadership last year. The more libertarian, business-oriented members of that party have taken this election on the seat of their pants. And meanwhile liberals are becoming their own worst enemies, too. It's a fairly interesting time to follow politics, as long as you keep yourself on a one month time delay.
