Reagan was basically Emperor Palpatine, shifting it from a republic to an autocracy with his deregulations, etc. It simply took time for the changes to really destroy things. The US is a Corporate Oligarchy,or Corporatocracy, not an autocracy. Palps didn't hand the reigns over to private contractors, he was beholden to no one. He may have delegated to his governors, but 1) they weren't private corporations and 2) if they fucked up he'd have no problems force lightening them. Palpatine is much closer to someone like Augustus than Reagan. In fact I wouldn't be surprised at all if Lucas modeled him entirely off of Augustus. <cite>Duck-I-Says posted [p:882273645] in For those ...
