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

Obama is counting on above principle to degrade our status to a 3rd world country. He has created millions more dependent on food stamps, 99 week unemployment checks, 20% real unemployment (includes discouraged, part timers & working below skill level), a whole range of subsidies for rent, heat, transport, translators, contraceptives, abortions, medicaid expansion....the list goes on and on. All these dependents on checks from the government will keep voting for the likes of Obama until the country collapses like Greece.

This year I celebrate 53 years since my arrival in this great country as a foreign student. I was naturalized US citizen 43 years ago. The opportunity I discovered to succeed in this country is very hard to duplicate in other countries. It is indeed the greatest country ever existed on planet earth. We have the burden of making sure it stays that way. Freedom is the key word, and big government is the anti-thesis of freedom.
