Another main group leader is the military who defends the country and protects us all in any circumstance. "if members of armies gave them no more of their lives than do believers off to church to which they belong, there would be a military crisis" (mills,73). Imagine the U.S without a military it would've been a disaster but thank you to every soldier who protects the citizen for many years because you set an incredible example of elite power by having the power to do some things the soldiers wishes but also the ability to lead masses of people, strategic ways/plans and loyalty to the United States of creating a safe environment.
Some old examples of elitism are how Hillary Clinton went from the first lady to senator then secretary of states. Another example could be Mitt Romney how he went from the corporate world to governor and even as a presidential candidate. In conclusion, these three main groups help each other to create a better economy but also a better future of the US. Lastly, the power elite by C.Wright MIlls is the best way to explain the society how we live in today but also how $ money and status makes a person more dominant than an average citizen.
Sadly elitism in U.S means the average American citizen has less power such as the picture shows above but also how the three main groups create jobs for the lower class. In general, the wealthy are getting richer but in a way opening up jobs to the rest so the cycle of the economy comes and goes.
