Regis Philbin. Salary: $20 million. âWho Wants to be a Millionaireâ was a massive success in its heyday, and not having Regis yell-talk random things at us as much was also a huge success. And for that, Regis made a $20 million a year, still the highest paid game show host ever. Alex Trebek
The United States is, indeed, a republic, not a democracy. Accurately defined, a democracy is a form of government in which the people decide policy matters directly--through town hall meetings or by voting on ballot initiatives and referendums.
I share the opinion of the majority of the world in thinking that democracy is the best form of government. My opinion may be biased since I live in the United States under a democratic government, but I think the presidential system of democracy works the best.
