Quote of the Day - government parasites


Thomas Jefferson wrote this in a letter to William Ludlow ... in 1824.

Can you imagine what he'd say about the 'machinery' of government today?


"I think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious." ~ Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Ludlow, 1824
