<<the United States is not a democracy. It is a Republic. We elect representatives. And when we elect representatives that burden our society with more government institutions (and thus more government employees), the government is most assuredly not us. It becomes (has become) a giant parasitic organism living off of our society. It is a serious problem and it continues to create more problems. >> Fine, Republic, call it what you want.
