Private Property therefore is a Creature of Society, and is subject to the Calls of that Society, whenever its Necessities shall require it, even to its last Farthing; its Contributions therefore to the public Exigencies are not to be considered as conferring a Benefit on the Publick, entitling the Contributors to the Distinctions of Honour and Power, but as the Return of an Obligation previously received, or the Payment of a just Debt.
Sounds dangerously close to me.
Ben, let's hope Glenn Beck, Jonah Goldberg and others that inhabit some of the darker corners of the wingnut-O-sphere don't hear about this. It could distract some of them from their current Woodrow Wilson fixation and we don't need them dragging your name through the mud too.
