A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only
exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the
public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the
candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result
that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by
a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been
200 years.
Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual
truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance,
from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from
complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to
bondage.
