In his first Inaugural Address, Thomas Jefferson reminded his fellow citizens that their happiness and prosperity rested upon a “wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, 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.

The current government seeks just the opposite.  It is called redistribution of wealth - it sure worked well in Russia and every other socialistic country.
