(Thomas Jefferson's) His opposition to the Bank of the United States was fierce: "I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale."

Given what Jefferson said, how is the US today following the founding fathers and their ideas, as some people claim?

  1. "I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."

    Thomas Jefferson

    "To secure these [inalienable] rights [to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness], governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed... Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness." --Thomas Jefferson: Declaration of Independence, 1776. ME 1:29, Papers 1:429

    "It is to secure our rights that we resort to government at all." --Thomas Jefferson

    "[It is the obligation] of every government to yield protection to their citizens as the consideration for their obedience." --Thomas Jefferson to John Jay, 1785. ME 5:172, Papers 8:607

    What you have here is just the tip of an iceberg!  According to our forefathers these iceholes we have in government.  

    Our forefathers would lay siege to DC!!  They would try, convict, tar and feather, then jail them all!  Seize their assets and pay what could be done.


  2. Jefferson was from an era of small nations. A large nation like the US needs large money to finance her enterprises ie banks. Unfortunately with banks, the US can never be without debt since everytime a dollar is printed, it owes the bank that dollar. However, with careful planning banking in the US can be a good way to secure her future.

  6. its to a point. To tell you the truth... if it werent for so many laws, money and greed would of controlled the whole planet. Declaration of money and credit and whatever else was established to make certain things official so it can be universally recognized. otherwise, it will be chaos all over the planet.
