    China Migrating from Socialism to a Capitalistic Republic. America Migrating from a Democracy to a Capitalistic Republic.

    I'm afraid one of those is a little backward. Try this instead:

    America Migrating from a Republic to a Capitalistic Democracy

    If you think America was ever intended to be a democracy, you are sadly mistaken. The founding fathers considered democracy to be the most vile thing they could think of, even worse than the Crown from which they separated. That's why they didn't set one up here.
