"The Constitution, to be worth anything,must be held sacred,and rigidly observed in all its provisions.The man who wields its power and misinterprets it is the more dangerous the honest he is.In the first place,the government ought to have in the Treasury no more than enough for its legitimate purpose...The power of collecting and disbursing money at pleasureis the most dangerous power that can be entrusted to man,particularly under our system of collecting revenve by a tariff,which reaches every man in the country,no matter how poor he may be,and the poorer he is the more he pays in proportion to his means.What is worse,it pressses upon him without his knowledge where the weight centers,for there is not a man in the United States who can ever guess how much he pays to the government.So you see contributing to relieve one,you are drawing it from thousands who are even worse off than he.It is a precedent fraught with danger to the country,for when Congress once begins to strecth its power beyond its limits of the Constitution,there is no limit to it,and no security for the people." I love my firefighters and police,but they chose what jobs they wish to work at and get paid well for there time.
