THE FALL OF THE ATHENIAN REPUBLIC... "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 that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the
public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the
candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with
the result that every democracy will finally collapse over loose fiscal
policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship."
"The
average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of
history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these
nations always progressed through the following sequence:
From
bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From
courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance, From abundance to
complacency; From complacency to apathy, From apathy to dependence,
From dependence back into bondage."
The origin of the above quote is unknown. It has been wrongly attributed to Scottsman Alexander Tytler. The truth contained above is undeniable. How will we choose today? Will people vote to continue to be free or back into bondage?
