We're not a democracy, and your statement is nothing more than nonsense. Large government won, not Democracy or Republicanism. Clearly you don't know what you're talking about.

Where did I say that we are a democracy? And why are you so disagreeable?

Am I supposed to just affirm everything you say? Is that the kind of forum you want?

Already is one on Wall Street. It funds the SEC. Its .013% or thereabouts.

The check was with a state government selected senator. Now the Senate is just a puffed up version of the House. One and the same.

I disagree. The senators represent a larger constituency than a congressman, especially in the more populous states. The politics of the House are more diverse, whereas those of the Senate are more heterogeneous within each state's delegation since you have two senators sharing the whole state. It might not work exactly as envisioned, but there's still some give and take between the Senate and the House.
