Ok, grand - but I'm going to remove 'Also, mandatory giving...legitimizes class warfare.', as that's clearly unsubstantiated opinion. Thanks

== False Jefferson Quote ==
I have removed the following Jefferson quote which appears to be fake. In its place I put a quote from Benjamin Franklin, which is genuine and can be sourced beyond secondary sources back to the primary source.
*"The republic will cease to exist when Government takes from those who are industrious and gives to those who refuse to work." -- [[Thomas Jefferson]]<ref name=wnd>http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=144865</ref>
== Levelling ==
"Levelling" is what wealth redistribution was called 250 years ago. This is helpful for others who seek to research the topic further and break free of the constraints of modern language. It literally is "levelling" as in levelling people's paychecks, earnings, or property, etc. Note that its not always written with a double l.
Elbridge Gerry also mentioned levelling at the Convention in a negative way, though he was less explicit about what he was referring to with the word so I did not include it.
