The dollar rules in the US. That is 100% true and is definitely not a good system. However, that doesn't make it a dictatorship unless you consider money to be their dictator.
Money cannot be a a dictator, it’s just pieces of paper with value, however the people who hoard it in massive amounts and use it to exert influence on the system, resulting in laws that favor them and their companies, are.
That's an oligarchy, not a dictatorship.
It’s capitalism’s natural evolution, it happens in every capitalist country, regardless if it brands itself as social democratic, parliamentary democracy, etc.
