The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not. -- Thomas Jefferson

Remember what Plato said over two thousand years ago in Republic? He warned that democracy is a nice idea but has a potentially fatal weakness. If the leaders have the means to take from people and give to other people, they will inevitably do this more and more to solidify their own power, to the point that the democracy is bankrupt. Just because we have a new trillion dollar program proposed every twelve minutes, Plato would say we should be alarmed? Why, just because we're already broke? That was ancient Greece. I'm sure it's different now.
