That's not true. The Roman Empire fell because of:
1.) Their government changed from a Republic to a Democracy.
2.) Inevitably Socialism was the next step. The greedy and the lazy, demanded that the government give them free stuff.
3.) Inevitably, the government couldn't afford that, so they resorted to fiat currency. They devalued their coins by mixing in less valuable metals; until their coins became practically worthless.
See a pattern?
Rubbish. Rome went from Republic to Imperial system ; that is about as far as you can get from democracy.
All the other reasons look similiarly simplistic and inaccurate.
The fall of the Roman Empire was a complex process that took centuries not something you can neatly tie to your own misapprehensions and prejudices explaining it in ten lines.
