“Taxes should be continued by annual or biennial reeactments, because a constant hold, by the nation, of the strings of the public purse is a salutary restraint from which an honest government ought not wish, nor a corrupt one to be permitted, to be free.” –Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Wayles Eppes, 1813

I especially like Thomas Jefferson quotes. Jefferson knew more about human nature, than most.
