But it is answered, let _every thing_ be protected.

Firstly, this is impossible; and, again, were it possible, how could such a system give relief?
_I_ will pay for you, _you_ will pay for me; but not the less, still there remains the tax to be paid.
Thus you are the dupes of an illusion.

You determine to raise taxes for the support of an army, a navy, the church, university, judges, roads, etc.

Afterwards you seek to disburthen from its portion of the tax, first one article of industry, then another, then a third; always adding to the burthen of the mass of society.

You thus only create interminable complications.
