IN
GOD WE TRUST ( what an awesome idea )
Obviously, he was a man ahead of his time.

HOW DID JEFFERSON KNOW?
Especially: Read the last quote from 1802.
*
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.'
