It's been variously stated that any democracy can survive only until its
members discover that they can vote themselves largesse out of the
public treasury.  One of the pithier statements of this referred to the
discovery that they can vote themselves bread and circuses, without
having to wait for the politicians to do it.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread_and_circuses for the origin.
