" A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasure. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship." -Alexander Tyler

And this corollary is also true

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the big businesses discover that they can finance the politicians who will give big businesses money from the public treasure. From that moment on the big businesses always finance the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship.
