(1) Jews in the U.S. do not generate 75% of the economy.
(2) Even if they did, this does not imply in any way that the country is not a democracy. If anything, it would be a testament to democracy: that a constantly irrationally-hated tiny minority can work hard and do well in the free market. Could a tiny much-hated minority like the Jews do this well in an unfree country, say, a Muslim country?

That is false, but a democracy does allow for unequal wealth generation. The richest 5% of America controls 40% of America's economy. Your stat on the Jews is innaccurate. The number would be closer to 5% at most.

Because you're getting your facts from Mel Gibson. Try a new source. Just for the record, neither Bill Gates nor Warren Buffett are Jews as far as I know. I don't think any of the top ten in the U.S. are. I couldn't say for sure since I am not obsessed with race. Or did you mean they are people of Jewish faith. I'm not obsessed with that either.
Your question reminds me of the statement my late grandfather made once. He asserted that the ACLU was a front organization for the Jews. This seemed like an outlandish statement to me so I thought about it to see if there was some disconnect between it and the facts. It was one of those rare moments when I came up with a rebuttal almost immediately.
I pointed out the following...
* David Duke was a former KKK member who ran for President
* He was disallowed from appearing on the ballot in at least one state
* The ACLU fought for his right to be on the ballot despite his reprehensible past (one for which there was never the kind of strong renouncement one would hope for.)
* The KKK hates Jews
Why then, I asked, would the ACLU fight for a Jew-hater's right to be on ballot if they were a front organization for the Jews?
His response was a strong lesson in the concept that denial is not just a river in Egypt... "You see how far they will go to maintain their cover?"
The funny part was, his Germanic sounding name was determined to have been changed from a Jewish name at some point in the genealogy. He was probably more Jewish than some of the people he railed against.
Hate is such a destructive force. Let it go. Go visit some Jewish people in a rest home and ask them about their lives. It will be good for both them and you.

You've been talking to too many racists.
1. Jews are probably less than 5% of the population.
2 Most large corporations are owned by stock holders. These are mainly union and other pension plans.
3 Like was stated previously, a democratic government allows all of it's citizens to seek any opportunity and succeed to their potential.
4 We have anti-trust laws that protect against any person or group to form a monopoly, It would be very easy to trace and find out if a small group of people controlled the economy.
Sorry, but I think you've been listening to a conspiracy theory nut jobs. Start hanging around with a better wiser and better informed group of friends!

If your figures are correct why do you have a problem with that? Try running your country on the other 25 % only. Be thankful that America gives everyone an equal opportunity. This encourages economic growth.

First of all, the United States (I assume that's where you are) is a republic, not a democracy. The difference being a democracy is a government in which the people vote on everything, and a republic votes for representatives to vote on issues on their behalf.
Secondly, whomever generates the majority of the U.S. economy is irrelevant to what system of government we employ.
Thirdly...So What? Why does it matter (if it's even true)?

they're issues which could in user-friendly terms be got here upon after 1000's and 1000's of trials. and of course, strict limit should be in place. besides the undeniable fact that, via fact the inspiration of technological information is often changing via new discoveries, we ought to even have sympathy to the drug agency besides. they are actually not miracle makers, they in simple terms attempt to make salary by making use of promoting some thing that they "think of" could help different persons. think of the international devoid of antibiotics and different drugs, how lots of people could ought to die? If we agree that technological information could be replaced, the drug agency could not have an excuse of increasing drugs fees via fact of regulation in shape.additionally if we seem on the different area that has used the socialist equipment it has slowed down and did not stay as much as its Utopian promise. No equipment is optimal yet open and loose marketplace is the perfect available.

If you said 7.5% I might even ponder your question but 75% is for sure false. Anyhow, what does that have to do with democracy? That is a polical system not a matter not a determining factor of who is successful. You're just jelous.

When there is no relative equality and a huge gap between the classes, democracy has failed,, we cant talk of democracy when there is no normal distribution of wealth, wherever it fails it becomes some kind of dictatorship which means the few controls the economy or the state
