   Would that be the politically naive/illiterate US masses that voted in Obama   
   twice? Have some respect for the failings of democracy. The US (and world   
   democracies) has been bankrupted by democracy.    
      
   As the great philosopher Lord Woodhouselee once wrote,   
      
   A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist   
   until the voters discover they can vote themselves largesse from the public   
   treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates   
   promising the most    
   benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always   
   collapses over loose fiscal policy. ...
