“I adhere to the constitution. The founders were brilliant in thought and their ideals. The constitution was true and right in that only land owners should vote”

I wish we could go back to that. Someone without a stake in the game is not going to vote correctly, they will vote themselves other people’s money. And there goes the Country.

The following quotation has been attributed to Tytler, although it has also been occasionally attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville:

A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.
