“I think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious.”
~Thomas Jefferson
Isn’t that the Truth! ..and if he said that in his day imagine what our founders would say about our governance today! But they did warn us this freedom we love is fragile.
"The origin of all civil government, justly established, must be a voluntary compact, between the rulers and the ruled; and must be liable to such limitations, as are necessary for the security of the absolute rights of the latter; for what original title can any man or set of men have, to govern others, except their own consent?
To usurp dominion over a people, in their own despite, or to grasp at a more extensive power than they are willing to entrust, is to violate that law of nature, which gives every man a right to his personal liberty; and can, therefore, confer no obligation to obedience. "Alexander Hamilton
