What country in the world has a better economy?

What country in the world has a form of government that is designed to protect individual rights? Why isn't our right to have a constitutional government protected right now? Why must your neighbor and your friends take money away from their families and their businesses to be given to people in foreign countries who haven't earned it? Why aren't they asked, and why don't they have a choice?

Why aren't they asked, and why don't they have a choice?

This is a representative democracy. We are all asked every couple years. Our representatives then pass laws and measures that support or don't support these programs.

Your assertion that nobody has a say in this is ridiculous.

You may have a quarrel with majority rule in this country, but your complaint seems to be that the people you would prefer to represent you don't seem to know how to get elected.
