“Across America, this divide between the superrich and everyone else has become a yawning chasm and studies indicate it may stifle jobs and growth for years to come. At no time in modern history has the top one hundredth of one percent owned more of our wealth or paid so low a tax rate. But in neither of the two presidential debates so far has the vastness of this astounding inequality gap been discussed. Not by Mitt Romney, who is the embodiment of the predatory world of financial capitalism. And not even by Barack Obama, whose party once fought for working men and women against the economic royalists.” – Bill Moyers
Great video – Moyers highlights the questions not being addressed in the media that strangely(?) deal with the welfare of the people of the United States.

You might like this page. Although specifically concerning the US, it provides a pretty good demonstration of why liberalism (US meaning) is way better than plutocracy.

Wow, hell of a page Rob, consider it bookmarked and all those type of things. I want to take a look at the libertarian section as well, because those particular brand of people always need to set straight.
