An Oligarchy is just the negative form of an aristocracy, like tyranny is the negative form of monarchy -- according to Plato. Interestingly he considered Democracy to be the negative form of Polity.

how can there even be a world wide oligarchy? The world isn't a state, or maybe it is to Coolinator he's all into that ONE GUBERMENT TAKe ovER ILLUMINATI SHIT prolly.

Also I'm pretty sure Plato considered Sparta a Polity/Democracy, but maybe it was an oligarchy at one point in history.

Plato on OLIGARCHY:
"they allow no one whose property falls below the amount fixed to have any share in the government."

yea that totally happens.

"What are the characteristics of this form of government," you might ask?
"Just think what would happen if pilots were to be chosen according to their property, and a poor man were refused permission to steer, even though he were a better pilot?"

The Death / rationing panel is meant to reduce the cost to the private-for profit insurance companies. This will allow them a federal mandate to deny care thus saving them money. We have to remember that this is an insurance bailout in the disguise as a healthcare bill for the people. It's not meant to reduce the cost of beneficial programs like disability pensions.
Maybe you should start your own insurance company instead of assuming that no organization should ever CUT COSTS OMG. Again: Who gives a shit if these people are denied or not? There's nothing in this world that guarantees people health and good fortune.
