    You could be correct. Is the plutocracy dying then, and could you provide some examples of this?

    What does this story mean?

    I'm not sure but I doubt if is the end of the world as the breathless liberal reporter and trump haters on this board think it must be.

    Washington is a cesspool and most people there think only of themselves not the country

    So I think trump will have no problem finding equally shallow replacements for the people who are leaving

    No the Plutocracy is alive and well. I might say even prospering under the Trump administration as never before. How else could one possibly explain trying to eliminate health insurance for 32 million people in order to give tax breaks to millionaires.

    If Trump was actually powerful or influential, he would be more humble.. instead of such a rude gasbag.

    Most people that prefer rule by aristocracy to rule by democracy probably feel that way.

    Is there room for both a plutocracy and an oligarchy in the same country?

    Yes a Plutocracy is a specific type of oligarchy where the rulers are the wealthy. While America could be considered an Oligarch it is more descriptive to call it a Plutocracy. Assuming of course you believe that the wealthy really hold the power in America.

    There'd be no problem with it if they'd remember not everyone has an IQ of 120 or so, and that even people with Iower IQs need to be able to find employment.

    A little more focus on the infrastructure and manufacturing base in this country as it relates to security would also be nice.
