I respect the offices that these two men hold...but I do not respect the men. One is an absolute fool. Can you guess which one?
Two quotes from Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States (1801–1809), the principal author of the Declaration of Independence (1776), and—for his promotion of the ideals of republicanism in the United States—one of the most influential Founding Fathers.
A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.Thomas Jefferson is rolling in his grave for what we have allowed this country to become. We let fools and hacks run this country into the ground.
The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
First the Feds bail out the banks as the financial system crumbles (under the not so watchful eyes of President George Bush and Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan), then the Feds take over GM and Chrysler, and now national healthcare. Sigh...so when do I get the privilege of paying my neighbors' mortgages?
At this point, I should just stop working and let the government take care of me. Why work hard and try to better my life when the Federal/State/City government will just rob me (er, I mean tax me) to take care of others?
