In case you’re interested, we left off the first sentence of this quote…

“We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude.”

Excellent quote from Thomas Jefferson. I’m pretty sure he was never accused of an inadequate vocabulary.

He and the other Founding Fathers had a very clear view of improper taxation. That view has unfortunately been altered over the years. The FairTax bill, however, can rectify many years of improper taxation. An enormous amount of time, attention and money will be freed up by implementing this method of tax collection. With one fell swoop, we can bring vitality to our economy.
