With the democrats in control of the entitlement society, the Republic is lost.

I believe Benjamin Franklin said...
“When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.”

230+ years as a beacon to the world, it’s been a good run.

Keep digging.

I used to think that it was a Ben Franklin quote too, but I grabbed this off of FR the other day. It's the whole quote and the author. "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.” “The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.” ― Alexis de Tocqueville
