How does political power affect society?
When I first saw your question I thought it said sobriety! i think it all depends on the leader.Here in America we have a power mad lunatic who is a pathological liar(obama) who said anything he could to get elected.Including stealing John McCain’s ideas when he saw how positive they were.His power is rapidly sending America towards a dictatorship.He is using class warfare as his main weapon.It is the rich against the poor and he claims he is on the side of the poor.He is the most liberal socialist in America and people are now regretting they voted for him because he said he would not raise taxes and what did he do?Tomorrow a pound of tobacco goes from 26 U.S. dollars to 62 dollars.We are on our way to being taxed to death.Thank you.
