I do not understand this at all. Would you like to explain??

The founders of this (US) republic considered "democracy" to be a disgusting practice.
So I have heard. But does that make it right?

It is mob rule. As soon as the mob realizes that they can use the power of the state to confiscate the wealth earned by others (which is happening now) those that vote without earning will "spread the wealth". I recall hearing that somewhere......
But, if you had direct democracy, would there be so much wealth concentrated on so few hands? Maybe more people would have enough, and fewer people way too much?
