It isn’t the people who want and get the Freebies (Blame Human Nature), it’s the People who give them the Freebies (DEMONCRATS and the Assistant DEMONCRAT RINOS)...
Yes and No. Who elects the demoncrats? There are more registered democrats than republicans!!
I recall reading something about “Seeds of demise of a democracy are sown when people figure out they can get more freebies by electing certain people”
