87% want tax increases

What we have is a type of democracy.

Lying about it is jsut stupendously fucking dumb

Yes, we are Republic, a type of Democracy, but not "A Democracy." We are in fact "A Republic."

Anyways, can we get back to the OP where you lie and claim the middle class want their taxes raised? It’s fun to watch you get so angry.

Dear fucking idiot,



when you are a type of democracy you can rightly call your self a democracy

Republic vs. Democracy

For you TM, if you know how to read.


The Constitution guarantees to every state a Republican form of government (Art. 4, Sec. 4). No state may join the United States unless it is a Republic. Our Republic is one dedicated to "liberty and justice for all." Minority individual rights are the priority. The people have natural rights instead of civil rights. The people are protected by the Bill of Rights from the majority. One vote in a jury can stop all of the majority from depriving any one of the people of his rights; this would not be so if the United States were a democracy.

Dear fucking idiot,

Or you can use the correct word and call yourself a Republic.

Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Types

Main article: List of republics

In the early 21st century, most states that are not monarchies label themselves as republics either in their official names or their constitutions. There are a few exceptions: the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Israel, the Russian Federation, and Hungary. However Israel, Russia, Hungary and Libya would meet many definitions of the term republic.

There is a variety of republics which differ on how the head of state is chosen and how much power they have.
Parliamentary republic — a republic, like India, Poland, with an elected head of state, but where the head of state and head of government are kept separate with the Head of government retaining most executive powers, or a head of state akin to a head of government, elected by a Parliament.
Federal republic — a federal union of states or provinces with a republican form of government. Examples include Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Germany, India, Russia, the United States,[note 1] and Switzerland.
Islamic Republic — Countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran are republics governed in accordance with Islamic law.
Socialist republic — Countries like China and Vietnam are meant to be governed for and by the people, but with no direct elections. The term People's Republic is used to differentiate themselves from the earlier republic of their countries before the people's revolution, like Republic of China and Republic of Korea.

[Avorysuds]

I honestly think the reason TM gets so bitchy about Democracy VS Republic is because Democracy sounds more like Democrat and Republic sounds more like Republican.

No, I’m not joking.

we are on that list as a federal republic.

It does...

A distinct set of definitions for the word republic evolved in the United States. In common parlance a republic is a state that does not practice direct democracy but rather has a government indirectly controlled by the people. This understanding of the term was originally developed by James Madison, and notably employed in Federalist Paper No. 10. This meaning was widely adopted early in the history of the United States, including in Noah Webster's dictionary of 1828. It was a novel meaning to the term; representative democracy was not an idea mentioned by Machiavelli and did not exist in the classical republics.

I just used google...

Here. Article 4, Section 4

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

Republican or "Republic" for short. Not a Democracy.
