It would eventually cease to exist.

Government exists to concentrate wealth in the elite and executive class of society.

It is natural for a democracy to end up with wealth concentrated in the elites who run society.

Yes, and that's on account of human nature. If fairness is to be practiced and sharing has to be equal, then personal freedom of the brightest and strongest has to take a backseat.

@zonavar68 Why is it that the DemoNazi party has the most rich people?

Democrats are the party of the wealthy, a flip from decades ago when it was the party of the poor and middle class.

Democrats represented 65% of taxpayers with a household income of $500,000 or more in 2020, according to IRS data, while 74% of taxpayers in Republican districts have household incomes of less than $100,000.

Other members of rich clans have stepped into the political fray themselves. Penny Pritkzer, part of the family that owns the Hyatt hotel chain, became President Obama’s Commerce Secretary in June 2013. Mark Dayton, an heir to the Dayton family fortune (his ancestors built the company that became Target stores) is a Democrat and the current governor of Minnesota. Pete du Pont, descendant of the founder of chemical giant DuPont, was a Republican governor of Delaware from 1977 to 1985 and ran for president in 1988. Dolph Briscoe, Jr., member of the Briscoe ranching family, was a Democrat and governor of Texas from 1973 to 1979. Ross Perot, Sr., is famous for his two impressive but unsuccessful presidential runs as an Independent. He and his son have donated to both parties, but they lean Republican.


I don't make stupid statements. I provide FACTS, and

@Reason10 But if there are so few Republican donors and presumably votors, how come there are so many Republicans in office???😷
