More and more Americans are becoming disenfranchised with their political system, in large part because they don’t see themselves as having much influence.

There are lots of reasons for that. Though Americans voted for “change” with Barack Obama, not much has really changed; in fact, some would argue that things have actually gotten worse. Higher health care premiums and costs (when they were promised to decrease); a moribund economy that has seen a record number of Americans out of the workforce; a spiraling, out-of-control national debt that no one in Congress or the White House seems interested in reigning in – these are just a few of the concerns.

And consider this: A study released in August by political science professors from Princeton and Northwestern University revealed the shocking truth that the American electorate has “near-zero” influence on the U.S. political process.

So who or what influences American politics the most? That would be corporations and other monied interests.

As reported by Charles Greene at Absolute Rights:

By comparing survey data on 1,779 national policy issues, the two profs were able to measure the influence of the four groups on the outcome of the policy-making process. They found that among the four groups, the average American citizen’s preferences had virtually no influence at all on how policies are enacted or carried out. Zip. Zero. Nada.
