Answer:

Jefferson's views on taxes are not really well known, but some of the quotes from his writings give us clues as to what his overall economic policies were. His most famous quote is probably, "Taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society." Jefferson believed that like a government, taxes were a necessary evil.
