It's corpocracy not democracy.

U.S. government a 'corpocracy,' not true democracy, Derber says
The United States government places an enormous emphasis on the value of democracy, both on the home front and abroad. However, this self-proclaimed modern exemplar of healthy democracy is in fact a perverse "corpocracy," according to Charles Derber, professor of sociology at Boston College.
Derber strove to answer the question, "Who Rules the World? Global Corpocracy or Global Democracy?" at his Monday lecture in Starr Auditorium.
Derber said that today, "It is the corporation, rather than the state, that is the dominant hegemonic force." He used the term "corpocracy" to refer to the special "marriage" of big business and big government that plagues not only the United States but also global governance bodies such as the World Trade Organization.
