Life of a Democracy

 A warning ... circa 1787

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money (generous gifts) from the public treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship."
"The average age of the world's greatest civilization has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence:

1. (From bondage to spiritual faith;) The beginning after the Revolution of 1776. Freeing us from King George's rule.

2. (From spiritual faith to great courage,) The bonding of a Nation developing a Nationality as Americans.

3. (Courage to liberty;) The fight to maintain our liberties WWI and WWII. Developing democracies in Europe and Japan.

4. (From liberty to abundance,) The growth of Industry and development of individual wealth and the desire for more after the war years.

5. (From abundance to selfishness;) From a time of Neighbor helping neighbor and family support for their elderly to the advent of Nursing Homes where the elderly were sent, out of convenience so the family was free of responsibility.

(This is where we are today, the violence in the streets and the ignorance of the Constitutional Liberties we hold as a people. Our enemies dividing and conquering us as a people.)

6. (From selfishness to complacency,) When everything is easy, life takes on a casual existence allowing others to worry about the big things like voting and understanding the weight of our vote.

7. (From complacency to apathy,) When people fail to see the value of self reliance and personal responsibility and allow others to set the rules for their life.

8. (From apathy to dependency,) Allowing the Government to take care of them without personal responsibility lacking pride in personal accomplishment.

9. (From dependence back into bondage.) Socialistic attitude allowing their freedoms to disappear and leaving the government in the hands of the powerful. Who will you allow to be your Dictator in the end of our life's experiment in this Democratic Republic.?
