In this video I discuss the following: 
✅ The 2014 Princeton study proving economic elites dictate policy while public preference has zero impact
✅ Widespread public opposition to foreign policy decisions and GOP corporate tax cuts being completely ignored
✅ YouGov polling revealing public indoctrination and blind trust in the military-industrial complex
✅ Why the American system functions as a plutocracy and corporate oligarchy rather than a functioning democracy
