I'm glad at least one other person in the US realizes we've
never been a democracy, in the USA.

Government is about taxation and redistribution of
resources. When
the wealthy get too wealthy, you no longer have democracy.
You haven't had democracy for years in America.

The United States has never been a democracy, it has always
been a
federal republic. Democracies always fail because the
majority soon
realize that they can vote to take away all the money and
stuff from
other people for themselves. That's why Democrats act the
way they do.
