How Did He Know?

When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe,
we shall become as corrupt as Europe.
Thomas Jefferson

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

It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes.
A principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the world.
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

My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
Thomas Jefferson

No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.
Thomas Jefferson

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
Thomas Jefferson


The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson


To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.
Thomas Jefferson


Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:
'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered..'

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

That my friend is the phrase that pays right there- If you continue to give to those who don't want to work- you become an enabler. That my friends is NOT the answer

"If a man chooses not to work, neither shall he eat." 2 Thessalonians 3:10

settled.

I think Thomas Jefferson understood the concept of individual rights better than any other founding father. It pisses me off that he undermined his own beliefs by owning slaves; the man was brilliant.

Then we as americans sure the fuk shouldnt pay for his health care/it wont get passed anyway and then dumb fuk blojama will look stupid. I mean he already looks stupid but now this will confirm it

Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of a day; but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, and pursued unalterably through every change of ministers, too plainly prove a deliberate, systematical plan of reducing us to slavery. -- Thomas Jefferson.

Fuzo,
my point exactly...notice it says "chooses" not to work. Every able bodied man should be forced to work if he wants to eat. no handouts.
