Default Here's a question for town hall meetings...

From a column by Robert Tracinski, "20 Questions for Your Congressman",
(http://www.jewishworldreview.com/080...i081109.php3):


"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."
