“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.“
- krainboltgreene 2y agoWhere "wasting the labours of the people" seems in reality to mean "subsidizing rural schools so they have the same education standards as urban schools". Of course the guy you're misquoting also had slaves, so I'm not sure if I give a shit about his predictions for American's happiness.
