“A patriot in a State that does not import or export, discerns insuperable objections against the power of direct taxation.” – James Madison, Federalist No. 38

THE RULEBOOK: PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE 
“Why has government been instituted at all? Because the passions of men will not conform to the dictates of reason and justice, without constraint.” – Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 15

THE RULEBOOK: RATIONAL THINKING  
“If it be true, as has often been remarked, that sayings which become proverbial are generally founded in reason, it is not less true, that when once established, they are often applied to cases to which the reason of them does not extend.” – Alexander Hamilton or James Madison, Federalist No. 53
