Fred is right, but most voters don’t want to hear that message. They want to hear that the government will pay for everything just by taxing the rich and taking from the greedy corporations.

Just tell them that the wellfare state has been tried in many european countries and his a complete failure.
Weak economies,high unemployment,loss of independency with Russia China Middle East to get contracts,big government,high taxes,no free speech....slavery,slow death

Curiously Eastern european countries which have known socialo-communism want free-trade...

People just need to be awaken and not to trust the liberal-socialist old fairy songs for babies

They want to hear that the government will pay for everything just by taxing the rich and taking from the greedy corporations >P> Again from Alexander Tyler: "A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that 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 due to loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a dictatorship." "The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history 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."
