108. Aristotle's observations.

Aristotle made an extensive study of every form of government at his time which is just as comprehensive of the forms of government today. I suppose there is nothing new under the sun. He concluded that the most important element of maintaining a thriving democracy was maintenance of a large financially secure middle class. He observed that when the wealth was concentrated in the oligarchs the eventual result was revolution as the only option for the oppressed. It could either be a peaceful or violent revolution depending on the reaction of the ruling class. He also took note of something that we are experiencing. That is during the preliminary stages there is an increasing number of demagogues who are nothing more than the tools of the oligarchs who deride those who call for change. I can't help from observing the rise of the Limbaughs, Savages, and their ilk such as Cruz.
