Thomas Jefferson said in a letter to Joseph Milligan, April 6, 1816: “To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.” Jefferson added in a Letter to George Logan on Nov. 12, 1816: “It is strangely absurd to suppose that a million of human beings, collected together, are not under the same moral laws which bind each of them separately.” It is obvious that USA Founding Founders respected the fruits of labor as the property of the laborer and that it was not to be shared forcibly through government. Is there any relevance to what is happening in Greece today?
