Democracy

According to Alexander Tyler, a Scotish history professor during the the 1700's at the University of Edinburgh, a Democracy is temporary in nature and will exist only until the time that the voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that point on the candidate who promises the most gifts will always be elected.
If this is the case we will undoubtedly see more and more democrats elected to office and more of our national treasury will be distributed among those who pay less and less of the taxes which make it possible.
According to Tyler Democracys last approxiamatley 200 years and typically follow this pattern:
1. From bondage to spiritual faith
2. From spiritual faith to great courage
3. From courage to liberty
4. From liberty to abundance
5. From abundance to complacency
6. From complacency to apathy
7. From apathy to dependence
8. From dependence back into bondage

Of course when Tyler spoke of this he was referring the the great Athenian Republic of 2000 years previous to his, but the question I have is America on its way to slipping back into bondage?
Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota , believes that right now America is somewhere between the complacency and apathy stages.
