Yeah, a copy and paste....but awesome nonetheless.

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.'

I really hope you are joking...

Jefferson was an anti-federalist and wrote against the federalist papers
Madison, Hamilton, and John Jay wrote the Federalist (the correct title of what we now call the Federalist papers)

Sadly Jefferson lost the argument about limiting the federal government.

Some of the things Jefferson said don't work anymore like people being piled up upon each other in cities (we can't all live on homesteads and hunt deer...unless...we kill everyone mwhaha) Plus all the great ideals that made America possible were the result of people living in cities and sharing knowledge: Athens, Tyre, Constantinople (Miklagaard), London, Philly, Boston, NYC

Oh, and Hamilton was a pussy and posted his part of the Federalist anon in newspapers because he didn't want to lose the chance to become treasurer under Washington.

Is the earth flat? I don't know! Jesus came before the Romans.
