Something we all Should think about

According to Thomas Jefferson: "My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government .... The natural progress of things is for Liberty to yield and government to gain ground .... Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The People themselves are its only safe depositories ....Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into Tyranny." "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 .... The Democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not .... When the People fear their government, there is Tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is Liberty!" "The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of Patriots and Tyrants .... Leave no authority existing not responsible to the People .... Every generation needs a new revolution .... Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." And from the Late, Great Ronald Reagan: "Man is not free unless government is limited .... Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction .... Concentrated power has always been the enemy of Liberty .... Government's first duty is to protect the People, not run their lives." "Government does not solve problems; it is the problem! .... If the Soviet Union let another political party come into existence, they would still be a one party state, because everybody would join the other party."
