| #6 Alexander Tyler in 1787 about the fall of Athens: “A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse doe to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.” |

| #4 ^ who was that Frenchman who did an early analysis of the new American Democracy? You know, the one that said something like "Their Democracy will last only until they realize they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury." |

| #3 US Congress passes $1.9T BAILOUT loaded with 100's of Billions of taxpayer $$$$ for these over spending, bankrupt cities and states due their Liberal Agenda. Now suddenly Minneapolis has $$$$$ to pay $27M. Well America you just footed that bill, not the city, or that state. This is "Taxpayer Privilege", $27M pay-out to a convicted Pregnant woman beating/assaulting, convicted Armed Robber, with long Drug history and a well known street thug with even more tainted history. His RAP SHEET. Who run from police due to Drug/Parole/Warrant violation. Resisted arrest and as luck would have it. The City politically delayed the release of his autopsy report that clearly showed he died of a DRUG OVERDOSE that caused his breathing problem. For maximum Political Riot/Looting hay in up coming election year. I have to wonder how many $millions will find it way back in to the City/State political elites pockets and the Socialist-Democrat bank accounts that "worked" out this deal of the year? |

| #2 state tax revenues emerged from the pandemic largely unscathed. Eh? I thought "covid-hoax" destroyed the economy. |

| #1 It's official, Floyd died of Covid. His family is being paid off with borrowed Covid relief money. Democrats are on track to approve hundreds of billions of dollars in no-strings-attached aid for state and local governments in the latest coronavirus relief package, but new data suggests the funding may not be necessary after state tax revenues emerged from the pandemic largely unscathed. The relief bill passed by the House last week includes $350 billion for the long-time goal, with $195.3 billion directed toward state governments and Washington, and $130.2 billion allocated for local governments. An additional $20 billion would be given to federally recognized tribal governments, while $4.5 billion would go to U.S. territories. |
