This is not a democracy. It was never intended to be a democracy. It is a republic. All democracies end in bankruptcy or hyperinflation whenever the public learns to vote itself benefits from the treasury. Incumbents are the mechanism by which republics are turned into democracies by surrogates.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion. But when you want to use incumbents to impose unconstitutional provisions into law, which is exactly what Democrats have been doing since 1935 and what increasingly RINO republicans are doing now, then the country is headed for bankruptcy, dissolution, or civil war.

The unfunded liabilities already equal or exceed the total estimated private net worth of the entire United States Here is the data and here are the charts that support it:
