The following quote, excerpted from a private letter the 73-year-old statesman wrote to an aspiring public servant named Samuel Kercheval in 1816, is perhaps the most concise overview of the relationship between people and governments ever put to paper. It is as relevant today, in this age of the bail out, as it was 192 years ago:
“If we run into such debts, as that we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor sixteen hours in twenty-four, give the earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses, and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they now do, on oatmeal and potatoes, have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account; but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow-sufferers.
“And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for a second, that second for a third, and so on 'til the bulk of the society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering...
“And the forehorse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression.” ~Thomas Jefferson

The Myth of the Innocent Civilian by Harold Thomas
Myth of the Innocent Civilian Free E-Book and Audio Booklet:
If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our
meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our
labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds, as the
people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor
sixteen hours in the twenty-four, and give the earnings of fifteen of
these to the government for their debts and daily expenses;
And the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must
live, as they do now, on oatmeal and potatoes, have no time to think,
no means of calling the mismanagers to account; but be glad to obtain
subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains around the
necks of our fellow sufferers;
And this is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from
principle in one instance becomes a precedent for a second, that
second for a third, and so on 'til the bulk of the society is reduced
to be mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for
sinning and suffering...
And the forehorse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation
follows that, and in its train wretchedness and oppression.
~Thomas Jefferson
