Of course it's not a democracy. Anyone who tells you otherwise doesn't
have the sense to listen to the clap-trap every school child in public
education is forced to recite daily.

I pledge allegiance, to the flag, of the United States of America. And to
the *REPUBLIC* for which it stands...

Have you heard the other side of those figures? How about 50% of the
people don't pay taxes. In fact a large portion get free money. Explain
exactly how that part is democratic and you'll win a prize. No, I'm not
joking, it is exactly that behavior which is why we're supposed to live in a
republic and not a democracy.
