Publius,
Given that the letter was written over 200 years ago, what do you interpret the bolded part to mean?
Does it mean that legislators ought not to figure out how to make property ownership more equitable?
Or does it meant that legislators are not capable of exhausting ways of making ownserhip more equitable (due to the problems of inequality being so "enormous")?
You don't have to dig up more references, I've seen enough of your knowledge in this area to believe you have a good idea of how this question sits in relation to other information.
Also, I'd like to know whether my facts are correct in this:
The founders were categorically opposed to taxation (as roachboy was responding to this assertion), or taxation without representation?
