oligarchy
Discussion
Not an oligarchy if they were self made before they were involved in government
that's a really interesting opinion, man
just for your education:
```
oligarchy (from Ancient Greek ὀλιγαρχία (oligarkhía) 'rule by few'; from ὀλίγος (olígos) 'few' and ἄρχω (árkhō) 'to rule, command') is a form of power structure in which power rests with a small number of people. These people may or may not be distinguished by one or several characteristics, such as nobility, fame, wealth, education, or corporate, religious, political, or military control.
```
I don't see anything here about being self-made. weird
By this definition, you can argue any democracy is an oligarchy, where power rests with a small number of people, distinguished by political control, granted to them by the electorate, regardless of wealth status.
ahhh, I see you've confused direct democracy with a representative democracy. additionally, none of these cabinet members or appointees were democratically elected.
enjoy this Osho quote:
```
Democracy basically means: Government by the people, of the people, for the people.... but the people are retarded. So let us say: government by the retarded, of the retarded, for the retarded.
