Some noble visitor from Britian said, after visiting the USA many years ago, the the system of govt. was working fine, and would continue working fine until the citizens figured out that they could just vote themselves extra benefits.
Now we have whole classes of people voting as a way of life, including the poor, the AARP bunch, some veterans, etc.
Within a few years, more than 50% of the people will effectively pay no federal income tax, and they will pressure Congress to raise taxes of the 49% who pay, and give more to the non-payers.
