"Thomas Jefferson said, 'A wise and frugal government which shall
restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them
otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and
improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it
has earned. This is the sum of good government.' Notice what is not on
his list: government-provided housing, or government-provided food, or
government-provided health care. And Jefferson's views on the role of
government were widely shared by America's Founding Fathers. So my
question is: Please explain where you disagree with the vision of our
Founding Fathers, and why."

My ancestor worked and fought to right that wrong over 150 years ago.
