"Bad government results from too much government" - Wise Words from Pres. Jefferson

Sometimes I get wordy. When working on my MBA, I remember classmates bemoaning 20-page papers; my only bemoanment was how to keep the papers that short.

Brevity is, however, the soul of wit. I believe it can also be the soul of wisdom. If it can be made short, it can carry mre weight. Simpler is better.

Thomas Jefferson:
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.

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.

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

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.

Every generation needs a new revolution.
