Sorry, Bernie. I prefer "plutocrat" to oligarch. I also agree with the analysis in the citigroup memo that has been disappeared from the internet over and over and over again. That analysis stated that our form of government is a plutonomy, not an oligarchy, the form of economy being the form of government anymore.
