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
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.
- Thomas Jefferson
To take from one, because it is thought
That his own industry and that of his
Fathers has acquired too much,
In order to spare others, who
Or whose fathers have not exercised
Equal industry and skill,
Is to violate the first principle of
Association, ‘the guarantee to every one
Of a free exercise of his industry,
And the fruits acquired by it.'
- Thomas Jefferson
