Just look at History. All previous "democracies" (republics, &c) went through a period of expansion and prosperity (ppl had to fight to get ahead but were able to fully enjoy the fruits of their labor) and then decided that the gov't should/could make Life safe and happy for everyone. Downhill from there.
Whether one likes it or not, Life is not safe nor is it easy and no society/gov't can make it different (as long as we have more ppl than we have resources). Darwin wins in the long run.
