Why Do I Keep Hearing From Some People That America Is Not a Perfect Democracy?

Question by Plutoed: Why do I keep hearing from some people that America is not a perfect democracy?
What, then, is a perfect democracy. What is the evidence of the “fact” that corporations are the ones really running the Government. Some seem to think that the middle class will be going away as we go towards becoming an oligarchy.
I don’t agree to disagree, I am just wondering how they have come to these conclusions. I know, please forgive my naivity. You’d be surprised at what we the public DON’T KNOW these days.
Thank you.
