Posted in: Protesters in New York march on billionaires' homes See in context

Of course America has never been a Democracy. Since the ratification of the constitution, it has been a Republic. We don't need or want democracy because a democracy is majority rule or put another way, mob rule. The best example of a democracy in action is a lynch mob. there's one dissenting vote, unfortunately he's at the business end of the rope! If you really want the rights of the minority preserved, a republic is the best option.

Unfortunately the focus of these protests is misplaced. Instead of hating the rich, these people should be focusing on their enablers in Washington, the State Capitols and City Halls who take the money, campaign contributions aka "bribes and payoffs" and rewrite the rules that enable the Corporate "fat cats" think Fascists to make their ill gotten gain at the expense of small business men/women and the entrepreneur.. In doing so, theyrejust clearing the playing field of the competition and rigging the game so they don't lose.

The problem isn't the free market, it's when government and business collude to tip the table in favor of the few at the expense of the many. Call it corporatism if you want, Mussollini, a fellow who knew a thing or two about it called that Fascism.
