Professor Olson adds,"In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican
won by Republicans was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens
of the country. Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens
living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of
government welfare.
Professor Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between
the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of
democracy , with some forty percent of the nation's population already
having reached the "governmental dependency" phase.
