According to Alexander Tytler’s cycle of democracy, dependency on the government is the last cycle of any type of democracy – including our constitutional republic. It falls in line with what Alexis de Tocqueville said, “The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.”

The elephant in the room that continues squandering our American Inheritance is dependency on the federal government. It not only harms all of us who remain self-reliant, it harms the taker in robbing him of his own integrity to be self-reliant. Until we end federal welfare and the federal nanny state, nothing will change other than who will run the circus.

History has shown us that no democracy lasts:
