Spare, you hit the nail on the head. Last night there was an election between those that want to be free and those that want free stuff. Unfortunately, the free stuff thieves won.

I think that Tyler said it best:

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government.A democracy will continue to exist only until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority will always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.” — Alexander Tytler, circa 1787.

This is exactly what is happening in Europe right now, and truthfully, I think that we are not far behind.
