In 1858 he said

Tocqueville in 1858 stated that aid (2010 term is Stimulus) must be temporary so that it did not develop into a 'right'.



In 1839 Tocqueville campaigned for the Chamber of Deputies of France. He campaigned as an independent candidate beholden to no one. He desired to serve his country in a disinterested spirit and cautioned the French people not to end up in political apathy and soulless materialism. He cautioned the people to awaken and mobilize.



It is now 2010 and does this not sound fimilar?
