Monica and others assume that this election is about rational choices.

It isn’t.

It’s about which party has more voters on the public teat sucking away at taxpayer cash.

Alas, that is, hands down, the democrats.

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits...”

- Elmer Peterson, The Daily Oklahoman, 12/09/51 (and sometimes misattributed to Alexis deTocqueville)
