Thomas Jefferson speaks about welfare

Quote:
"If we can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people, under the pretense of taking care of them, they must become happy."


And before anyone can say it, yes he was a slave holder. and because he was a slave holder, he knew that "government welfare" would cause free men to become slaves.

I wasn't trying to correct you. I wanted to post it on FB but I wanted to link it.
