Obama admin vs. wisdom of Thomas Jefferson

Below are a few Thomas Jefferson quotes that we should ponder as we see our country starting down the slippery slope towards Socialism:

"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

"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

And finally, an analogy that has become more prophetic with each generation:

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