George Carlin was on to something here, no doubts about it.
As for EU this is really the truth, heck we even got a EU president bragging how he was selected in a non democratic way behind the scenes in secret by the other non elected ppl! (Barosso)
He does have a point trough.
Way to much lobby-work is being done, and politicians acept way to much fundraising from said lobby-organisations.
Ask your self this; If you were a politician, who supported tax-cuts for the wealthy, but not as a main agenda, you could then get 1 million dollars via fundrasing when you're up for election, would you not push tax-cuts highere inn you're priority, so you could keep getting donations to improve your chances at being elected/re-elected (We all know money = good election)? Many politicians gets way to many shaddy huge donations.

What he is talking about is not a conspiracy, but economic reality lol.
Wealth gives power, anyone with understanding of how lobbying works, political pressures, owing favors and so forth realizes that what he says is quite true.
Forget the president, the guy changes every 4 years, it is the very wealthy that really govern because most governments are afraid to lose their support so quite a lot of things are done in their favor... what do you think atrocities such as SOPA come from?
There is a reason why you can almost see US presidents age on live television, the stupidly amount of stress and pressure on them wreaks their health, they want to do good, but there is so much shit in front of them that it becomes hard, so its more navigating through stormy waters than really "governing"
But nooooo, you had to go towards obscure conspiracy theories, the reality might be far more stupid.
