How about "1% Democracy" as a name for the US democracy?

What do you think, especially if you don't agree?

    We have NEVER been a Democracy and were not designed to be by our Founders.

    Expecting otherwise is to display, publicly, one's ignorance of the country's government since it's founding.

    It is a Constitutional Representative Republic with Democratic Principles and even that is simplistic.

    Don't post garbage like this.

    The OWS movement lost their credibility the second they used that 99% number with everyone that saw the socialism in the movement.

    They are the 1%.

    The rest of us work for a living and like the mobility our society gives us vs. the forced labor of Socialism.

    I prefer "subverted democracy"...

    It's the subversion of the people that allows the 1% to retain power, despite all their evil, deceit, and corruption...
