     And this country was set up as a democracy meaning the good of the many outweighs the good of the few.

 

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democracy

The first principle is that all members of the society (citizens) have equal access to power and the second that all members (citizens) enjoy universally recognized freedoms and liberties

 

In a true democracy, the good of all outweigh the good of the many.
