Which statement best sums up Tailfer's point of view? Read the excerpt from A True and Historical Narrative

Georgia, was to make a kind of solemn Treaty with a
Parcel of fugitive Indians ... and all of them have

starving in the Colony... a larger Sum of Money has
been expended for the Support of those useless
Vagrants, than ever was laid out for the
Encouragement of Silk, Wine, or any other Manufacture
