you believe that the founding fathers, who wanted us to be free above anything else, really wanted corporations to come in and influence personal politics with money? you think that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson sat down and said hmm...ya know, i like when people get to make up their own minds about whats right and wrong, but i like it even more when a select group of individuals with more money then the common man gets to create the real laws based on their personal agendas and get taxes breaks so they can get even MORE ****ing money from the little guy?

the founding fathers wanted to keep America from becoming a tyranny, and they knew that a nation of credit would quickly become one...which is why they wanted to avoid it, however they have failed and now their nightmares are true, whether or not you wanna believe it, you're a ****in slave dude

no one is more hopelessly enslaved then one who falsely believes he is free


such is capitalism

Alexander Hamilton was a Federalist. He believed that the educated and upperclass, aka the wealthy, to guide the common man in government and politics. NONE of the the founding fathers believed in democracy. They believed that democracy was mob rule. They believed the masses were incapable of controlling government. They were afraid of the French Revolution, where the masses used violence and terror to govern. The US constitution does not explicitly use the word democracy. The US utilizes the electoral college instead of popular vote. Senators were not directly elected until the 1920s. The founding fathers intended for a select group of individuals to rule the government. However, they believed that all "men were created equal"-- though they only applied the idea to white males-- so the founding fathers gave all men the opportunity to participate in government. Take a US history class; give me some facts. Stop hypothesizing.
