According to Tytler, all great civilizations go through similar cycles, which he proposed to be as follows:

* From bondage to spiritual faith;
* From spiritual faith to great courage;
* From courage to liberty;
* From liberty to abundance;
* From abundance to complacency;
* From complacency to apathy;
* From apathy to dependence;
* From dependence back into bondage.

IF we assume Tytler's theory to be correct, where does that place our current generation along the time scale?
* From complacency to apathy; <---We're here now.
* From apathy to dependence; <---We'll be here with a socialist president.
