They just figured this out? Its been a Plutocracy since day one! The "Senate", and the Electoral "College" are there to keep it that way!

I concur. Begin with Koch Bros, Jeff Bassos, etc.

And they spent how much on stating something so obvious? How many political leaders do you know who couldn't raise half a million dollars, at least.
The majority are multi-millionaites. Think how much they spend on getting elected. Then ask the obvious question. If you spend that much, without even knowing if you'll be elected, how much money can be made if you are elected, because your salary won't cover the cost of being elected.
Who needs a degree to conclude it's an oligarchy?

I get quite frustrated with some of these studies. I am involved with academia and get annoyed when studies like this are commissioned to state “the bleeding obvious” to quote Monty Python.
