In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor, said this about the fall of the Athenian Republic 2,000 years prior: A democracy is always temporary; it cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will exist until voters discover 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 worlds greatest civilizations 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. GUESS WHERE AMERICA NOW STANDS ON THAT LIST?
