We disagree. What is the check and balance against the masses voting in people who will cut them checks from those who still have money? The Supreme Court?
Our current government is a mix between a democracy wherein all the representatives and the president are voted into power by the masses and a Supreme Court aristocracy.
My FRiend we are in the last days of this Republic. The people have discovered that through the power of the voting booth they can elect people who will vote them money from the treasury even if that money does not exist. The masses have spoken and they have elected Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Barak Obama in the hopes that they will vote them all goodies from the treasury.
Welcome to democracy.
“What is the check and balance against the masses voting in people who will cut them checks from those who still have money?”
Voting in people to cut you checks is not the definition of democracy. Notice how you included the phrase “voting in people,” which indicates that we are still a representative democracy, which is what we have always been. All we’ve done is take away one layer of representation.
