Do we really have power?

The ruling system of today is not unlike the ruling system of the ancient Egypt we do not worship our leaders but we do not have direct power either. There is not one true democracy on this planet, every country independent of geographic position, dominant religion, ethnic group, history or social standing is ruled by an elite. Elite's seem to have only one goal and that is the gaining of more power. These elites appear to assume that they have the right to rule, but they do not. Everyone has the right to have a say in a decision that affects him/her.
