    Keep in mind that our country is NOT a Democracy. We are a Republic governed by the rule of law.

    A lynch mob is a Democracy because in a true Democracy the majority rules.

    The word “Democracy” does not appear ANYWHERE n the United States Constitution!

    2martini is right. US has become a fascist state. But the constitution didn’t mention that either :-(

    Stu, You are pretty much correct on that. For those who don’t know….

    Capitalism: Citizens own and control their businesses.

    Fascism: Citizens own the businesses and government controls them.

    Communism: Government owns the business and controls them.

    We certainly have an extreme burden of taxes on private enterprise these days. One more reason to bring in the Fair Tax!
