America is a Plutocracy
The term "plutocracy" is formally defined as government by the wealthy,
and is also sometimes used to refer to a wealthy class that controls a
government, often from behind the scenes.
Example:
The Carlyle Group

More generally, a plutocracy is any form of government in which the
wealthy exercise the preponderance of political power, whether directly or
indirectly.
