Even if I am able to become more engaged, what are the chances that me, a 20 year old college student, tax-paying citizen, and Eagle Scout, are going to spend little more than 5-10 with my congressman. On the other hand, Jack Abramoff can drop off a nice donation and get a weekend golf outing. Either we need to change this fact, or put the Declaration of Independence and Consitution into the famed Congressional shredder. I'll take the former.

Second, distribution of income has paramount importance when it comes to political access, especially in a free-market society. I'm sure you're familiar with Mazlow's Heirarchy of Needs, but if I'm working two jobs to pay the rent and fill my car with gas, visiting the office of my elected officials isn't exactly my top priority.

ssentially, we have a quid pro quo system, and the top 1% of campaign contributors are getting the happy ending, if you know what I mean. So clearly, these wealthy people have a vested interest in maintaining their positions of wealth via favorable trade agreements, tax benefits for corporations, etc.

I would disagree with you on two points, drdvdus. First, our current system depends on private campaign donations, already proven beyond a doubt to be contributed by the top 1% of Americans. It would be naive of anyone to think that these 1% are simply altruistically contributing to the political system simply out of a sense of patriotism. They have a personal agenda, usually connected to the international and national business interests which contribute to their position and wealth.

content does not match the topic...distribution of income difference does not relate to democracy and globalization really
