"A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have."

~ Thomas Jefferson 

'A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.'

'From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.'

Alexander Tyler - 1787
