The U. S. is on sale. Buy it while it’s hot.
O say can you see,
by the dawn's early light,
what so proudly we hailed
we now proudly renounce.

Plato theorized that democracies, as they matured, evolved into oligarchies or plutocracies. We are witnessing exactly that.
When the new political election funding laws came into effect, the U. S. democratic system became an oligarchy or plutocracy. Billionaires are now buying political candidates and are in fact buying the leadership of the nation. They are now the power behind the throne and control the government and thus the people. Now, instead of working 9 to 5, Americans are working 24/7.
When did the U. S. devolve from the leading democracy of the West, to a tyranny up for sale?

Nice try, When Plato lived these things already existed, not very hard to predict empire. This is suspiciously tied to tea party dribble that some have posted on the topic. What period in U.S. history are we romanticising? Tyranny has always been for sale, what do you think they do on Wall Street today? Democracy is just a fancy name for mob rule, assimilationist style; kinda like the Chinese calling themselves Communist, we dont really do politics even we just prop up capitalism.
