>>> Thomas Jefferson
Jefferson can be claimed by neither party. For every "conservative" quote, I can cite an equally "liberal" quote by Jefferson. He was the ultimate bipartisan, a political sphinx.

There appears to be no good evidence that this is accurately attributed to Thomas Jefferson.
Given that it is the Republican Party which favors the economic interests of those who do not work over those who do (see, e.g., capital gains), it is surprising that you would find anything at all attractive about this quotation.
You lost because you didn't include proper formatting.
