George Ford Smith

The US as a modern nation began in 1789, but between the Constitution and Alexander Hamilton’s national bank, the original ideal of liberty that drove the American Revolution had passed. We still are living in Hamilton’s country.

The present US regime is far more tyrannical than the British government that supposedly was so intolerable that independence was the only way out. Perhaps it is time for another Declaration of Independence.

Once upon a time, American firms built with the long term in view, and the government did not try to hinder them. Today, thanks to reckless federal government spending, we are living hand-to-mouth, accumulating massive debts, and soon enough will be broke.
