A auto-destruição da democracia


  • "A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy collapses over loose fiscal policy … always followed by a dictatorship."
    —Alexis de Tocqueville
