I have found over the years that political praise for the "Will of the People" is usually dependent on whether or not the people are doing what the politician wants. The rest of the time they're "ignorant masses."

We are very close to the point in this country where the people who don't pay a lot of taxes are outnumbering those who do. In a democratic society that has enshrined forced wealth redistribution as a virtue, this could get interesting (see: five wolves and three sheep voting on dinner plans).
