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
