 So I'm wondering what your definition of democracy is. Or freedom, do you want to keep people less active, more passive to make sure property is protected? I do not believe in majority rule. Majority rule is what killed Socrates. You can laugh, but that's a fact. The citizens of Athens didn't like what Socrates was saying, but they voted to silence Socrates, and they did. The only way to silence Socrates was to have him killed. I don't see a difference between freedom of speech, which should not be put up to democratic vote, and property rights, which I don't think should be put up to democratic vote. But somehow, on what to do with John's bank, that's okay for us to vote. On how much to pay people, that's okay for us to vote. Luckily for America, we have an ability of rights. We have a First Amendment that gives us the right for free speech. So we can't have hate laws like they do in Canada where they've imprisoned or fined people for saying stuff that some people found offensive.
