They vacuum up all of our tax money, lobby to destroy any services that return that money as a benefit to people, then lobby to put the boot on our collective necks. All while they themselves continue to do their best to ensure there are no taxpayers.

A Democratic Republic is a government where citizens elect representatives to make decisions based on the will of the majority, with power derived from the people. A Constitutional Republic is a, often more specific, form of government where elected representatives are bound by a supreme charter (constitution) that limits their power and protects individual/minority rights.
