And with your second bolded phrase, what the fuck are you talking about? I don't want a free lunch. I make over $80,000 a year and pay quite a bit of taxes. I don't mind it at all. And I don't think Obama will save the world. I don't even like him, but a majority of people voted for him and a majority still like him.
And finally, our government is officially democratic. Period. End of story.

Actually the proper term is Federal Democratic Republic. The bottom line is that the country is a Republic, with Democratic institutions which means nothing more than imbeciles believe that they have the right to make government force people to do what they could not themselves for people to do.
About the only difference between a Monarchy and a Mobocracy, err, Democracy, is that at least under a Monarchy there is a limited amount of thieves. I'm beginning to believe that George Washington did the country a grave disservice when he refused to be named King.
Mostly, because at least then the government would tend more towards consistency and more away from the imbecility that is running rampant in the halls of Congress.
