Labor's Bread

A good government is one “which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned." - Thomas Jefferson

Remember the government does not create wealth - individuals do, through their labor. If the government is to redistribute wealth then they must take "from the mouth of labor." This is not good government. Think of that when you vote.
