Alexander Hamilton

[TheMadCrumpet]

*he is on the Federal Reserve note denoting 10. With the inflation his central bank is going to create they will probably have to move him to the 10 million federal reserve note.

[TheMadCrumpet]

Hamilton was an asshole dipshit. The Ben bernanke of his day. I'm glad Thomas jefferson's buddy put that asshole in the grave. I wish mr keynes could have taken a headshot as well. These guys sparked a movement that has fucked up every country. Thankfully when the system collapses we can use all your Keynesian literature as kindling for fires during the winter. Thomas Jefferson is where it's at.

[SaxManiac62]

Man, you rock. I found this video a year ago when I was in my early stages of Alexander Hamilton fanhood, and 50 something views later it's even more amazing.

[quantabella]

Everyone who thinks Hamilton is God's gift to this country needs to read the book "Hamilton's Curse" by Thomas J. DiLorenzo.

[vigwig]

I love this! And yes Hamilton was absolutely instrumental to America's success after the Revolution. We were lucky to have him.

[scj16]

JIMBO RULES. SOUTH CLASS OF 06 :)

[gunsandbullhorns]

This is a cool song. A person could listen to this song once, and then spout his mouth off like a person who actually reads books or cares about History.

...but screw Hamilton. America would be so much better if we'd taken the Jeffersonian route more often.

[KyleClarkUSA]

Thomas Jefferson was the best founding father Hamilton easy 2nd or 3rd.

[Timasion]

I disagree. Jefferson's contributions to the founding of the country are not as great as people believe. While he wrote the Declaration of Independence, it was John Adams who was the force behind it. Jefferson had minimal influence in the drafting of the Constitution (he was in France at the time).

And, in the end, Hamilton was right and Jefferson was wrong regarding the future of the country. Jefferson wanted the US to remain agrarian while Hamilton wanted the US to expand.

[bonfirejovi]

@Timasion What are you talking about? Central Banks all over Europe and North America are failing. They have not done their jobs properly and have proven to be a complete failure. Also if Jefferson hadn't written the DOI then John Adams would have nothing to put his weight behind. Also if Jefferson is such a failure then how come the federalists don't exists anymore and the two main parties are Republicans and Democrats?

[DanielDamascusKimery]

@Timasion Is that why we got the Louisiana purchase while Jefferson was President?

[Wolfsbane909]

@Timasion I bet ya, Hamilton probably just smiling smuggly right now, saying "I told u so". Hamilton was cool in my books, he loved the ladies, even though he got caught, he came clean with it. Also he didn't punk out during a pistol duel, he still threw down now thats an OG! Burr can hold a grude, i mean he lost the presidency because of his vote...

Hamilton! 10 dollar bill!!

[KyleClarkUSA]

Wasn't Hamilton a aristocrat?

[Timasion]

No. He was born out of wedlock (which, at the time, precluded him being an aristocrat). His father was the 4th son of a Scottish Laird. Alexander Hamilton was abandoned by his father in 1765 and his mother died in 1768 (when Alexander Hamilton was 13).

[Illusenfan35]

Timasion is right, he wasn't an aristocrat. He did however, believe that aristocracy was good to a degree and that they should be in charge instead of the lower classes because he said that they were more educated.

[Timasion]

@Illusenfan35 I would argue that Hamilton believed more in education than aristocracy. Otherwise, all his compatriots would not have been leaders. In that day, most educated people were aristocrats.

[danardone]

Bravo plasmid!

And I think he always will!

[Timasion]

Hamilton > Jefferson

[LadyMaggie1976]

Hamilton was The intelligence, the forsight AND the sex!!

Awesome lyrics and vid!!

[BellaFranc]

Freakin' best video ever - the "awkward dancing" was what really made it :). You win at life. Period. But you can never go wrong with a homage to the greatest Founding Father ever.

[maymarieb]

AMAZING JOB< i hope you come out with more like it :)

[sundried13]

Alexander Hamilton was an elitist.

[sandmanda]

BEST FOUNDING FATHER EVER!

[broadwaychels]

hey this is great but can you post the lyrics? asap would be good (:

[Wizjkahna]

Alexander Hamilton rocks!!! Who was a better founding father? Nobody...that's who.

[JAMEKium]

Alexander Hamilton Kicked ass, no matter what anybody says!

That's why I like 10 dollar bills soo much! ^-^

[mindtraveler2350]

The greatest Founding Fathers were Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, and of course, Thomas Paine.

[overmind25]

I concur, especailly with the 1st and 3rd. Long live Thomas Paine.

[plasmid2]

Though I disagree, I do have a vid about Benjamin Franklin now.

[oldhacks]

Ron Paul would accuse you of being a person that believes in "Hamiltonianism"

[plasmid2]

I do believe in Hamiltonianism. Take that, Ron Paul!

[guntoheadBANGdead]

My favorite founding father

:DDD

I love Alexander Hamilton<33

[Rocketmike16]

Jefferson still sucks! Go Hamilton!

[RGarett62]

Hamilton may have affected today's America more than anyone else (ok maybe not but he was a GIANT part) and he IS the greatest founding father. btw, you remind me of the Barenaked Ladies lead singer.

[Jun22pdc]

I enjoyed it. Jefferson opposed his bank and his navy then used both. Jefferson had a spin doctor and no doctor could help Hamilton. Let's all be farmers!

[BrynhildTheGreat]

Awesome song! Hamilton lovers unite!

[LadyMaggie1976]

Huzzah!  Every day we use the creations of Hamilton.. The current fiscal crisis would definately benefit from his leadership!

Wish his spirt/ghost would help us out!

[InfestationofLife]

I love you.

[JOSHthePATRIOT]

Great song, I love Alexander Hamilton!

[sixplusone]

The American Pageant is my favorite book in the world.

And you've gotta love Hamilton!

[zifnab213]

Bah, Jefferson >>> Hamilton. =P

Great video though. XD

[OceanBlu22]

I concur. Kathy you're crazy.

[zifnab213]

Who are YOU?! I must know you, if you know Kathy...

[MisterGage]

Hamilton's plan was to ruin America, that is why it's ruined today. Because of his words.

[Ortiz2114]

I've heard their discussing about removing Hamilton from the $10 bill... The only reason he wasn't pres. was because fricken Aaron Burr shot him...lol

[scj16]

Omg! Jimbo? Jim Robinson? Is that you? Holla all the war from Sha Town Waukesha South! Good job man.

Sincerely,

Stephen

[halcroves]

Excellent, thanks!

[ameliaink]

NERD.

but nerds are hot.

[jentech4]

I LOVE YOU

[tearosefurymarie]

You are my hero.

[Corynorhinus]

ILU!

[dinoironbody21633]

I wonder what Mr.Franze would say.

[Vegex2272]

Hey! Awesome video. Have you seen my table dance video??? lol. I'm going to make a Part II when we get back to Swarthmore.

[ek1099]

wtf is that orange thing you're wearing?

[timoestreich]

You have shorts?
