The Sum of Good Government
A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise 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. – Thomas Jefferson, 1801
I wholeheartedly agree with Jefferson. Based on this definition of good government, clearly our federal, state, and local governments are unwise and – dare I say? – evil. Why evil? Because they do not obey the Higher Law – the two fundamental laws: 1) do all you have agreed to do, and 2) do not encroach on other persons or their property. We need to understand that most of what our government does is not just inconvenient for us. It is fundamentally immoral and must be opposed.
Too bad more citizens don’t read Jefferson!
