who has the power

The theory that I agree with most is the democratic elite theory. The theory was created by economist and political scientist Joseph Schumpeter. This theory is often described in terms of minorities having power. The truth behind this theory is that democracies and democrates are given the power to make decisions and etc. The problem many individuals have with this theory is that they believe democrats often are too liberal and never really get to the root of the problem, they simply concentrate on the working class and services provided to these individuals. In my eyes this isnt a problem because many Americans need services and the working class deserve a break every now and then just like the upper class do in this nation. The individuals who dont really care for this theory are most likely republicans who are often not interested in services or helping out the working class. I do believe that running a more complex nation or diverse America causes for more expertise than many believe the democratic party has. They often view democrats as liberal free trade individuals who have great ideas but dont have the backing or know how to see these ideas through. This is unfortunate but has become true over the years with John Kerry and Barack Obama seeming to have good ideas but not really being able to get them turned into action. Can we really blame that on the lack of knowledge or expertise or the republicans not voting for these ideas to become a reality?
