What do you think of the Tocqueville quote saying a democracy will die when ppl start voting for entitlements?

Alexis de Tocqueville could not have been more correct when he stated this about what happens when voters are able to vote their own benefits from government. The end result of this is that government takes on obligations that it cannot possibly deliver on - and those who advocate less generous benefits are inevitably at a disadvantage in political arguments. The only question for America is whether the ship of state can be turned around, and private charity can over time take over current social welfare programs that have become government functions. If not, America is headed for dictatorship in the long run - a disaster for everyone.
