“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
The government has become the Givernment.
So true. Here are a few more. I also sent to my Congress people. Ugh, Reed, Whitehouse
“All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.”
“The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.” NO STIMULUS PLEASE!
“Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.” Not to much of that in Washington from what I can see. Robbing us blind and then having the nerve to ask for our vote.
“I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just.”
“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.” NO STIMULUS PLEASE!
“To inform the minds of the people and to follow their will is the chief duty of those placed at their head.”
“The principle of spending money to be paid by future generations, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.” NO STIMULUS PLEASE!
“I place economy among the first and most important virtues, and public debt as the greatest of dangers. To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt.” NO STIMULUS PLEASE!
