Questionable Sir Alex Fraser Tytler Quote

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

In a democracy with time and experience the citizens will understand the importance of proper resource allocation. Democracy is the belief in humanity and it's promising potential.
