This redistribution of the wealth Via Medicare Drug Coverage is plain sick.
I agree with you but unfortunately its a given that it will be enacted eventually. Something like 70% of the people want it to be. That's representative govt'.

No it is NOT. It is mob rule.
There is a huge difference between Democracy and A Representative Republic. Unfortunately the baffoons we elect to public office failed their civics classes.
The Founders specificly designed it that way. To keep from the Majority the ability to overrun the minority.
Now we have many in this country Demanding just that.
Think about it for a minute. Where would minorites be today under mob rule versus the process this country went thru in the 60s? Gays? Women in the workplace? The list is endless.

So, in your definition anything that the majority of people want (the same majority who voted in their reps) is mob rule when you are in the minority ?
