투표권자가 항상  자신들에게 나라돈을 빼내 최대의 혜택을 약속하는 후보를 선택하는 민주주의는 결국 오래가지 못하고 독재정부로 끝을 본다는  것을  2000년전의 그리스를 예로들어  한 역사학자가 이미 125년전에 발표를 했군요. 나라를 이끌 훌륭한 지도자를 뽑지 못하고 국민의 평균 이하인 사람들만 후보라고 갔다놓고 그중에서만  선택하라니 앞날이 깜깜하기만 합니다.....

In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the
University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the
Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior: "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 that they can vote themselves generous
gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority
always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from
the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally
collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a
dictatorship."
