Re: "I vote for whoever promises me free stuff! I've hacked the system!"
[quote name="Mysterio"][quote name="some idiot"]Democracy can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.[/quote][/quote] You got the quote wrong but that's ok, it's not like you would have seen it at college. Biggest threat to democracy lately has been your shaman & gravy seals buddies and their insurrection. You really are as stupid as advertised. [/quote]
