Tyler Narrator: William Hughes Format: mp3 Length: 9 hrs and 15 mins Release date: 01-30-18 Ratings: 5 out of 5 stars, 1 rating Genres: Democracy Publisher's Summary: We are told that, when we vote and elect representatives, we gain a voice in government and its policies. Yet, it hasn't translated our preferences into higher living standards for the majority of us. In America, the wealthy few have built a system that works in their favor, while maintaining the illusion of democracy. American voters have little influence on policies engineered by lawmakers. Political scientists call it the "income bias", causing lawmakers to compete to satisfy preferences of donors from the top one percent instead of the middle class.
