along with John Adams.

Thomas Jefferson knew because he himself
studied the previous failed attempts at government. 
He understood actual history, the nature of God, 
His laws and the nature of man. 
That happens to be way more than what
most understand today. 
Jefferson really knew his stuff.
A voice from the past to lead us in the future:

John F. Kennedy held a dinner in the white
House for a group of the brightest minds 
in the nation at that time. He made this statement: 
"This is perhaps the assembly 
of the most intelligence ever to gather at one
time in the White House with the exception 
of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone."

"When we get piled upon one another in large
cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe ."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"The democracy will cease to exist when you
take away from those who are willing to work 
and give to those who would not."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"It is incumbent on every generation to pay its
own debts as it goes. A principle which if acted on 
would save one-half the wars of the world."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"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."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"My reading of history convinces me that most
bad government results from too much government."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"The strongest reason for the people to retain
the right to keep and bear arms is, 
as a last resort, to protect themselves 
against tyranny in government."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from
time to time with the blood of patriots and
tyrants."
-- Thomas Jefferson

"To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes
the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves 
and abhors is sinful and tyrannical."
-- Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson said in 1802:

"I believe that banking institutions are more
dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.

If the American people ever allow private banks
to control the issue of their currency, first by
inflation, then by deflation, 
the banks and corporations that will grow up 
around the banks will deprive the people 
of all property - 
until their children wake-up homeless on
the continent their fathers conquered."

I wish we could get this out to every American!  
I'm doing my part. So Please do yours.
