We like to think this is a democratic society; that in the United States, citizens and their elected representatives debate and decide the really important questions.

But this is emphatically untrue when it comes to some of the biggest decisions of all. Will wages rise or fall? Will there be jobs or unemployment? Will ordinary people be able to afford a mortgage, a credit card, or a loan for a car or college?
