who said you were asserting that Jefferson was a socialist?
here's how your author might have used the quote:
As Jefferson also frequently said, it would be sensible to use the power of government and creation of laws "To take from one because it is thought that his own industry and that of his father's has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers have not exercised equal industry and skill".
it's never clear cut is it?
