Government Collapse

"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. 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." - anonymous

The U.S. is a democratic republic, not a democracy, but this is still thought provoking. Our government just keeps getting bigger and regulating more. Every month we spend more than we take in. If it were a corporation, it would have gone under long ago. It is just a matter of time before it collapses.

There are way too many Americans who are too stupid to see this and vote for politicians and laws that give them more and more from the "public treasury" for doing nothing. They vote for bigger government and more regulation. We are moving toward a nation dependent on a government that cannot stand forever if we continue to let it overtake every aspect of our nation. When our government is so closely tied to our economy and provides for so many dependent people, what happens when the government collapses? We are in trouble!
