“We do not have a Democracy. We have a REPUBLIC!”
You need to be slightly more specific. The USA was set up as a representative republic but since WWI with the Wilson administration the leadership in the District of Criminals have been working diligently to convert us into a collectivist dictatorship where government controls the capital, not the individual (yes, there are two forms of capitalism).
You can call it a democracy, which has been the word mainly used to propagandize and brainwash the average American into believing since WWI, fascism, socialism (national or international), communism, or any other, but it is still collectivism.
Our Founding Fathers hated collectivism and it was the key decision by William Bradford, of the Plymouth Colony, who made that fateful decision to move the New England colonists away from a collectivist agricultural settlement and into private ownership of land and and individual, free enterprise capitalism. The holiday of Thanksgiving was created to celebrate and enshrine that decision and the positive effect it had on the prosperity of those colonists.
Today we have at least 60% (and growing) of our national budget going to support individuals and companies with entitlement spending which is probably making the Founding Fathers turn over in their graves. This collectivist-based economic model for our country is not sustainable by any means and is designed to destroy us both spiritually and physically.
Will I be surprised when we see the collapse of our economy (and the rest of world with us) very much like the former Soviet Union? Who will ultimately be to blame for it? It will be us. We allowed ourselves to be lied to and manipulated and be bought off with these government handouts. We voted for these vipers, sharks and wolves in to office and did not stay vigilant to their undermining of this country.
When, not if, America collapses, how we individually respond to this problem will help determine the fate of at least the next three to four generations.
Stay vigilant.

I had forgotten that significance of Thanksgiving. Thanks!
