As did de Tocqueville who said a republic can only last until its citizens realize that they can vote for access to the treasury. Or better yet, Fredric Bastiat who said that government is that illusion where everyone lives at the expense of everyone else. I still recall the story about the liberal couple who were all for Obamacare until they realized they would be the ones paying for it.
