Another means of silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometrical progression as they rise. Whenever there is in any country, uncultivated lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate natural right.
I am conscious that an equal division of property is impracticable. But the consequences of this enormous inequality producing so much misery to the bulk of mankind, legislators cannot invent too many devices for subdividing property, only taking care to let their subdivisions go hand in hand with the natural affections of the human mind.
Jefferson was in France...Adams was in England. Maybe they phoned in their imput?Jefferson is recognized, along with John Adams as influential framers of the Constitution. You're on another wild goose chase
Carson Inaccurately Credits Thomas Jefferson With Writing Constitution
Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson said in an interview that aired Sunday that Thomas Jefferson wrote the Constitution. But in reality, the founding father was the lead author of the Declaration of Independence.
It's not the first time Carson has gotten United States history wrong. As The Wall Street Journal previously flagged, Carson erroneously said the founding fathers had "no elected office experience."
Carson credited the nation's third President with writing the Constitution when he was asked who of the founding fathers stood out in an interview with C-SPAN as part of its "Road to the White House" series.
"I’m impressed by a lot of them, but particularly impressed with Thomas Jefferson, who seemed to have very deep insight into the way that people would react,” Carson said. “And he tried to craft our Constitution in a way that it would control people’s natural tendencies and control the natural growth of the government.”
Yikes, he really is dumber than Sarah Palin on history and policy issues.
Jefferson didn't even consider his part in the Constitution to be worthy of mention on his marker:
Having thus in a few words, opened the merits of the case, I shall now proceed to the plan I have to propose, which is,
To create a national fund, out of which there shall be paid to every person, when arrived at the age of twenty-one years, the sum of fifteen pounds sterling, as a compensation in part, for the loss of his or her natural inheritance, by the introduction of the system of landed property:
And also, the sum of ten pounds per annum, during life, to every person now living, of the age of fifty years, and to all others as they shall arrive at that age.
There could be no such thing as landed property originally. Man did not make the earth, and, though he had a natural right to occupy it, he had no right to locate as his property in perpetuity any part of it; neither did the Creator of the earth open a land-office, from whence the first title-deeds should issue.

You obviously did not read the links provided, I suggest you do so before you look even dumber then we know you are.You realize that Jefferson ACTUALLY DID help write the Constitution right?
No.
I didn't "realize" that, because it's not true.
Thomas Jefferson was in Europe while the U.S. Constitution was being revised by James Madison and Alexander Hamilton.
Thomas Jefferson's signature doesn't appear on the U.S. Constitution.
Do you realize what a fool you are?
Couldn't be any more shallow than Obama supporters.I saw a pollster interviewing Ben Carson fans about they see in the candidate. Their answers were pretty shallow and along the lines "calm" and "thoughtful"...
