Although it is off-topic, history indicates that Democracy only works until the people discover they can vote themselves other people's money.
Recent elections have not appeared to be decided by uninformed voters (the notable exception being the Florida dyslexics who seemed to inadvertently vote for Pat Buchanan). Instead, they are decided by voters weighing who has promised them the most tax money. Or to take the least amount of their money.
THAT is politics in a nutshell.
