VERY SCARY READ THIS AGAIN

'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 they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always vote 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.' The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years' 'During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith; to great courage; to abundance; to complacency; to apathy; to dependence; back into bondage.

In last election the number of States won by: Democrats: 19, Republicans: 29. Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000, by Republicans: 2,427,000. Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million, by Republicans: 143 million.

In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country. Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare...' the United States is now somewhere between the 'complacency and apathy' phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the 'governmental dependency' phase.

Quick fix for an ailing Democracy:

Change the rules for voter elgibility. No pay taxes, no vote.

A Constitutional Convention.

Term limits for Senators and Representatives to twelve years.

Congressional staff changes every twelve years.

Promote third party candidates

Force the Republican Party to define what consitutes a Republican. The Democrats already put party philosophy before anything else.

Consider a system of government comprised of political coalitions.
