Each citizen, every man, woman and child in this country owes $39,000 and climbing!
Of course, less than 100 million Americans actually pay ANY income tax, so the real story is that every American taxpayer is in debt over $117,000, and every day it gets worse!
Ever wondered what the Founding Fathers might say about this? Here's our guess.
"...When
people are universally ignorant... they will sink under their own
weight." Samuel Adams, 1775
"I
think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many
parasites living on the labor of the industrious." Thomas Jefferson,
1816
- Imagine what he'd say today!
"Those who expect to reap the blessings of Freedom, must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it." Thomas Paine, 1777
"Knowledge will forever govern
ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm
themselves with the power which knowledge gives." James Madison, 1822
"If we can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people, under the pretense of taking care of them, they must become happy." Thomas Jefferson, 1802
