Theory is extremely controversial but studies show that USA is more oligarchy, ruled buy several powerful people, than democracy, ruled by citizens. The USA is dominated by rich elite but question is how exactly power do these people have? Answer is: more than we can expect. The wealthy few move policy, when regular American has just a little power, or almost no at all. It's up to level of intelligence and education. The major believe is that policy making is only huge corporations and powerful business organizations and really small number of affluent Americans. They obviously work in their own favor and turn policy of the country on their own. Americans enjoy many features of democratic governance like freedom of speech and regular elections but usually majority of them do not even understand policies of US government and changes in general policy. United States of America are in several words, really similar to Russia: country ruled by just few powerful and rich people who need to make their businesses easier by affecting policies of government. The USA certainly never was oligarchy, but now - obviously is.
