“A Government Big Enough to Give You Everything You Want is Powerful Enough to Take Everything You Have — Thomas Jefferson”

By Daniel Miessler on May 26th, 2008: Tagged as America | Politics

Sean Hannity would probably call this guy a good for nothing liberal. What does Jefferson know about America anyway?

    Too bad Jefferson didn’t say it. Gerald Ford did.

    Seeing as Sean Hannity is against big government, I doubt he would consider anyone who said or agreed with that quote to be a “good for nothing liberal”. I guess that goes to show you what you know about government.

    And also, to the person who said Gerald Ford said the quote, exactly who came first?

    Wow … talk about COMPLETELY missing the point …. This is about as anti-liberal as you can get … Jefferson was warning about liberals seizing the money from those that earned it …. a true financial conservative! Staggering that you could read this and interpret it as being pro-democrat!

    It is not pro-democrat nor pro-republican, since both systems are basically the same thing, all run by something else, basically the power is there, they gave us the rights to do it, The “Bill of rights.” Things given by the government, which can be taken away, when they see fit.
