Wow, now that's twisting Jefferson's words... there's nothing to imply that he approved of it, just that that was a way of redistributing wealth silently.
Maybe you missed this Thomas Jefferson quote in your quest to bring our economy to its knees:
Quote:
"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from
those who are willing to work and give to those who would
not." --Thomas Jefferson

Or how about this one:
Quote:
|
Most bad government has grown out of too much government.
|
Maybe this:
Quote:
|
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
|
I like how he sums it up here:
Quote:
|
To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

Take caution when twisting the words of founding fathers, for it shall come back to bite you on the rump. :P
