I hope your alleged business doesn't require you to do basic math (instead of just use a stat like that which you obviously pulled from some freerepub type forum)

FYI - it was 1 in 50 in the 70's - not when Obama took office.

Hopefully my post wasn't too long for you to read.

If it was, I'll sum up. You're wrong - again.

So it went from 28.2 million to 46 million, that's still not very good math. A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largesse (bounty,gifts) out of the public treasury. From that moment they will always vote for the candidate promising the most benefits from the treasury with the result that democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy, always to be followed by a dictatorship.

Hard to argue with Professor Alexander Fraser Tytler since when he wrote that we were still colonials of Great Britain and he was explaining what had destroyed the Athenian Republic some 2000 years earlier.
