Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson's primary complaint about taxes was that they were often imposed without proper representation, violating the principle of consent of the governed. He believed that excessive taxation could lead to tyranny and undermine individual liberties. Jefferson emphasized the need for a fair tax system that reflected the people's will and promoted economic freedom. Additionally, he was concerned about the potential for government overreach and the misuse of tax revenues.
Thomas Paine was against the King of England, George III. Paine did not agree with his policy of taxation of the colonies without their proper representation in the British Parliament.
Enlightenment thinkers believe that individuals should have a say in the laws and policies that affect them. Taxation without representation denies people the ability to participate in the decision-making process, which goes against the principles of political equality and consent of the governed. This lack of representation was seen as unjust and oppressive by Enlightenment thinkers like John Locke and Thomas Paine.
"you cannot live without books" is said by thomas jefferson.
Thomas Jefferson's dream was to have a baby ( without getting married ) at the age of 20. P.S: He did ;], but he never ended marrying her.
