>If you look at the demographics that represent the majority of democratic supporters, you will them centered in the big urban areas of the US. These areas are predominantly minority and under-privelaged. This demographic will continue to support those that give them everything with nothing but a vote in return as required payment. They buy their majority...

"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. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations has been 200 years." This quote is attributed to Alexander Fraser Tytler. In 1814, John Adams said "Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide."


Hmmmm, how old is the U.S. now? I can't remember.
