Quick, what kind of government do we have?

Wrong! (You said democracy didn't you?)

The form of government we currently have stinks like that of a socialist welfare state.

But the form of government our founding fathers gave us was that of a republic. Remember Ben Franklin's response when asked what sort of government the delagates had created? "A republic, if you can keep it." To be sure, it was a democratically elected representative republic. But not a democracy.

"Democracy is three wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner."
