US REGIME: Our founders studied Athens; a true democracy. The people learned they could vote for representatives who would give them more benefits from the public treasury than they paid in. Soon, the treasury was bankrupt and Athens borrowed from their neighbors. The debt became so great, that the debt holders wanted payment, and threatened military force to get it.

"So that we may not be like the Athenians, who never consulted except after the event was done." Francois Rabelais
