The Tipping Point Approaches Rapidly

SEE HERE My father used to talk about this, the time when those receiving benefits from the government exceed those paying in. He said it was a fundamental instability built into the system if you took from Peter to pay Paul when the Pauls outnumbered the Peters then there was no longer any restraint on the pillaging of Peter by Paul. This is a form of the tyranny of the majority, exactly the mob rule that great thinkers like Plato and Aristotle had experienced for themselves and Socrates had paid the price.

Here Ann Coulter speaks about exactly the same phenomenon. The founders understood this and sought to avoid it by requiring that voters be land owners. We long ago turned over that provision (silly founders) ... we turned over other provisions the founders had introduced like the election of Senators not by popular vote but by the legislators of the various states intended to provide a check on popular enthusiasms. But we are so much wiser than the founders. As Coulter warns the tipping point is near and when it arrives you best hide the silver. Your pillaging is upon you.
