“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 to others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily 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
The above is the foundation and legacy of our country. I have the privilege of observing elections all over the post-Soviet sphere. It is heartwrenching witnessing common people thirsting for a real democracy, putting forth all their efforts for “change,” alas, democratic change eludes them still.
“To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.”
-Thomas Jefferson
America is a continuing example of what is a beacon of freedom for the world. I believe we will continue to preserve what our brillant founders passed on to us.
God help us.
