Americans would do well to listen to the words of Thomas Jefferson!

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who
are willing to work and give to those who would not.

~~~Thomas Jefferson

It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. A
principle which if acted on would save one-half the wars of the
world.

~~~Thomas Jefferson

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the
government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of
taking care of them.

~~~Thomas Jefferson

My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results
from too much government.

~~~Thomas Jefferson

No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.

~~~Thomas Jefferson

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and
bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny
in government.

~~~Thomas Jefferson

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood
of patriots and tyrants.

~~~Thomas Jefferson
