E.E. Schattschneider once wrote, "The flaw with the pluralist heaven is that it sings with an upper class accent." How do resource inequalities undermine the workings of the interest group system in America?
What will be an ideal response?
An ideal response will:

2, Relate how these advantages can translate into substantial benefits through greater access to decisionmakers; it results in a privileged position for business interests, and other interests are disadvantaged.
