Near the start of the film, Mike Huckabee (former Arkansas governor) describes what he read in a book many years ago called "Why Democracies Perish". He says:
"Democracies perish when people begin to understand that they can vote for themselves largesse out of the public treasury. And once they begin to recognize they have the ability to take away other people's possessions and vote it for themselves, they will begin to do that increasingly to the point that they take more out than they put in."This makes perfect sense. It's exactly what's been happening in the USA (and other socialist countries). Democrats (liberals, progressives) in particular have repeatedly been trying to increase the number of people dependent on the government, and they do this by increasing the scope of welfare. Why would Democrats try to get people dependent on the government? Because that way, they can get votes from them. After all, it is perfectly understandable that those on welfare are more than happy to vote for the party that provides them that welfare, by taking money from those earning it and giving it to those who aren't. This is done with the noble intention of helping the poor, but as someone once said, "If you pay people to be poor, then you will never run out of poor people."
Under the US system of government, each person gets one vote, regardless of whether they are contributing (paying taxes) or non-contributing (not paying taxes) citizens. Even those who pay no taxes get the same opportunity to vote as those paying taxes. A citizen will effectively not be paying tax if the government gives him as much or more money (in the form of welfare, tax deductions, tax credits, etc.) than how much that person paid in tax - he is a net non-contributor.
But what has all of this got to do with women's vote? Consider this parallel:
"Democracies perish when feminists (largely single mothers, "independent" women, career women, etc) begin to understand that they can vote for themselves largesse out of the public treasury. And once they begin to recognize they have the ability to take away men's (and married women's) money and vote it for themselves, they will begin to do that increasingly to the point that they take more out than they put in."Ann Coulter understood this very well, and she has said this publicly:
