Everyone lives in the reality of their own time. But the reason we so greatly honor Jefferson, was he understood truths that are timeless. Jefferson was truly a man for the ages! His detractors are either intentionally seeking to war on reality, or unable to accept reality for whatever reason.
Here for example is how Jefferson succinctly explained a welfare system (safety net), which unlike everything in America since FDR, actually worked for social benefit:
However...
"To those who are able to help themselves a little, or have friends from whom they derive some succours, inadequate however to their full maintenance, supplementary aids are given, which enable them to live comfortably in their own houses, or in the houses of their friends. Vagabonds, without visible property or vocation, are placed in workhouses, where they are well clothed, fed, lodged and made to labour."
That sounds a bit like, at best, a share cropped feudal arrangement - and at worst "from each according to their ability, to each according to their need".
