"Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to to Joseph C. Cabell
2 Feb. 1816W

No, my friend, the way to have good and safe government, is not to trust it all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to every one exactly the functions he is competent to. Let the national government be entrusted with the defence of the nation, and its foreign and federal relations; the State governments with the civil rights, laws, police, and administration of what concerns the State generally; the counties with the local concerns of the counties, and each ward direct the interests within itself. It is by dividing and subdividing these republics from the great national one down through all its subordinations, until it ends in the administration of every man's farm by himself; by placing under every one what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the best."

Man....if we could only get back to this way of government....then we could truly all be successful. Even Jefferson saw the need of less government in our lives. This statement wants to make me fight even harder for lower taxes and more power to the people to let them take the personal responsibility that's needed to make a true success story in today's world.

God Bless America,
