Anyway I was wondering what everyone(including people outside of the USA) thought our current form of goverment would be categorized as? Personally I would call it pretty close to an Oligarchy Or maybe a Plutocracy. What do you think?

plutocracy for sure... oligarchy... yep...

so possibly a plutoligarchy?
