He Said a Mouthful.....

There is nothing like a good quote....I love my bro-in-law, Art. "Uncle Autie" as I like to call him. He is my political guru.....if I have a question about politics, he's the guy to ask. He had my sis send me this great quote the other day for my common sense blog.
"I think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious." Thomas Jefferson in 1824. Wow, in 1824? Parasites living on the labor of the industrious? Wouldn't he be disappointed to know that not much has changed over the last 200 years? yikes! After reading that quote, I found a couple of other ones that T.J. said (seems he has lots).
"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".... you can say that again.....2009.
Also, "If God is just, I tremble for my country.........Amen Mr. Jefferson. Kind of comforting to know they had morons in the government in 1824 too. Some things never change.
