I am not usually a fan of old T.J., but he does have some wise things to say from time to time.
"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, 24 June 1813)
