" 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.

Most canidates can find someone to finance them the numerorus people on the Dole are more of an obstacle then the small amount of buisnesses on the dole. Still as long as you agree that Democracy is stupid now if only a suitable objectivis( libertarian without the Raimondo crap) Emperor can be found with the promise that the throne will in perpetua pass to people of similar views.
