Some Witty Perspective

In light of the current state of our Provincial Government I thought it might be interesting to add a little perspective from across time and culture from a few much more well known then myself. Lets start with one that may indeed highlight where our problems begin...

Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.
Thomas Jefferson

People try to live within their income so they can afford to pay taxes to a government that can't live within its income.
Robert Half

Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.
George Washington

The marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burdens unnecessarily laid upon them by their governments.
George Washington

It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.
Thomas Jefferson

We have the best government that money can buy.
Mark Twain
