Another idiot response from the mindless primate. The question was not about who should lay the taxation, it was about who should be taxed, and for what purpose. However, in your infantile mind, you again show your total lack of understanding, or even comprehension of the the topic:

"It should seem then that it must be because of the enormous wealth of the proprietors which places them above attention to the increase of their revenues by permitting these lands to be laboured. 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. The descent of property of every kind therefore to all the children, or to all the brothers and sisters, or other relations in equal degree is a politic measure, and a practicable one.
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. The earth is given as a common stock for man to labour and live on. If, for the encouragement of industry we allow it to be appropriated,
we must take care that other employment be furnished to those excluded from the appropriation. If we do not the fundamental right to labour the earth returns to the unemployed."
Now, I quite well understand the limited abilities of one such as yourself having been deprived of the talent of actually comprehending the written word, and being devoid of any form of conscience as to the misery of others, however, you once again have failed to provide any proof for your depravity, just more *********.
But then, what can one expect from one who lacks even the basic comprehension of what "Marxism" is, or even its lack of presence in the modern world. Why, to this person with such a limted knowledge of the subject, Christ Himself was one of those dreaded "Marxists". As to the "Marxist" Jefferson, and his ideas of education:

“A Bill for the More General Diffusion of Knowledge.” In
Notes on the State of Virginia (written in 1781), Jefferson summarized his educational plan as follows:
"This bill proposes to lay off every county into small districts of five or six miles square, called hundreds, and in each of them to establish a school for teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic. The tutor to be supported by the hundred,
and every person in it entitled to send their children three years gratis, and as much longer as they please, paying for it. These schools to be under a visitor [i.e., superintendent], who is annually to choose the boy of best genius in the school, of those whose parents are too poor to give them further education, and to send him forward to one of the grammar schools [high schools, in effect] of which twenty are proposed to be erected in different parts of [Virginia], for teaching Greek, Latin, geography, and the higher branches of numerical arithmetic. Of the boys thus sent in any one year, trial is to be made at the grammar schools one or two years, and the best genius of the whole selected, and continued six years, and the residue dismissed. By this means twenty of the best geniuses will be raked from the rubbish annually,
and be instructed, at the public expence, so far as the grammar schools go."
The next stage of this filtering process, Jefferson goes on to explain, occurs when half the students supported at public expense in grammar schools are dismissed after six years, perhaps to become teachers themselves. The remaining students then receive scholarships to study for three years at the College of William and Mary. (For various reasons, Jefferson later became disillusioned with his alma mater and substituted the University of Virginia, which he founded in 1819,
instead.)
Now, that was on the State level. The "Marxist" Jefferson, as President, along with the "Marxist" Congress, also signed into law this little tidbit which placed the Federal Government in the midst of education supported by the Fed:

"The minimum land sale was set at one square mile (640 acres), and the minimum price per acre was $1. (Congress hoped to refill the treasury by land sales in this region, but the requirement of $640 in cash eliminated many potential buyers.)
One section in each township was to be set aside for a school. These procedures formed the basis of American public land policy until the Homestead Act of 1862."
