Quote: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.
I wonder who has the oomph. A dictator will first kill anyone and everyone capable of putting a leadership cabinet together. What follows probably wouldn't be pretty, but I'd love to be around to see the likes of the Clintons, Schumer Pelosi, Ryan, Boehner (even Trump) get hung or guillotined ... or thrown into The Arena.
