"Trump is a delusional demented narcissist who only cares about himself. You really think he gives a shit about you or your imaginary god ?" - You are either a comedian or two years old, or perhaps another Clueless Canadian. - I don't want the government to care about me, I want the government to piss-off. - If you want a government to care for you move to Canada, Trudeau will make sure you are taken care of. "We may consider each generation as a distinct nation, with a right, by the will of its majority, to bind themselves, but none to bind the succeeding generation, more than the inhabitants of another country." Thomas Jefferson Jefferson believed in the principle that “the earth belongs to the living and not to the dead” which meant that previous generations could not bind the current or future generations to pay their debts, or require them to work in their father's occupation, or to accept the laws and constitution drawn up by their ancestors. "To compel a man to furnish funds for the propagation of ideas he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical." Thomas Jefferson "The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits." -- Thomas Jefferson to M. L'Hommande, 1787 "That government is best which governs least, because its people discipline themselves." – Jefferson “The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.” – Thomas Jefferson "When governments fear the people there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny." -- Thomas Jefferson "Most bad government results from too much government." -- Thomas Jefferson "Free government is founded in jealousy, not confidence. It is jealousy and not confidence which prescribes limited constitutions, to bind those we are obliged to trust with power.... In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in men, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution." -- Thomas Jefferson, 1799 "The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first." -- Thomas Jefferson "A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on Earth... and what no just government should refuse." -- Thomas Jefferson in a Letter to James Madison, Paris, Dec. 20, 1787 "The true foundation of republican government is the equal right of every citizen in his person and property and in their management." -- Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kerchevall, 1816 "[If government have] a right of demanding ad libitum and of taxing us themselves to the full amount of their demand if we do not comply with it, [this would leave] us without anything we can call property." -- Thomas Jefferson: Reply to Lord North, 1775. Papers, 1:233 "I own I am not a friend to a very energetic government. It is always oppressive." -- Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 12/20/1787 "If we were directed from Washington when to sow and when to reap, we would soon want for bread." -- Thomas Jefferson "Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then, be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels ... to govern him?" --Thomas Jefferson: 1st Inaugural, 1801 "It is to secure our rights that we resort to government at all." -- Thomas Jefferson to Francois D'Ivernois, 1795 "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. ... God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion; what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms." -- Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787 "The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive." -- Thomas Jefferson to Abigail Adams, 1787 *"In matters of principle, stand like a rock."* -- Thomas Jefferson
