"We are endeavoring, too, to reduce the government……" — Thomas Jefferson

"We are endeavoring, too, to reduce the government to the practice of a rigorous economy, to avoid burdening the people, and arming the magistrate with patronage of money, which might be used to corrupt and undermine the principles of our government."

Thomas Jefferson
