LOFL, when I read the thread title I thought this was a reprint of a column from the '70s. The "left", including primarily the Democrat Party and their enablers, are so far gone that they are now brazen in their lies and deceit, as if they understand fully that it really doesn't matter. They know that the parasite class will vote for them no matter what, because all they care about is big-government confiscation of their neighbors' money to pay for lots of "free stuff", and the working taxpayers who vote for them are obviously too stupid to know any better.
So the Democrats figure they may as well keep lying and hope to rope in some more ignoramuses. (Or is that "ignoramusi"?)
"A democracy cannot survive as a permanent form of government. It can last only until its
citizens discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that
moment on, the majority who vote will vote for the candidates promising the greatest benefits
from the public purse, with the result that a democracy will always collapse from loose fiscal
policies, always followed by a dictatorship."
