“When the people find that
they can vote themselves money,
that will herald the end of the republic.”
Benjamin Franklin


“The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.”

“Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.”
Alexis De Tocqueville
