Hamilton, who was always ahead of the curve, tells Jefferson why the newly formed United States needs a Treasury and centralized government in the HBO miniseries, John Adams. Jefferson always suspected Hamilton and the Treasury were corrupt, but upon ascending to the presidency, his own Secretary of Treasury, Albert Gallatin, called it the most perfect system ever formed and any changes would be devastating. Jefferson had no choice but to cede to Hamilton's system.
For more on Hamilton, pick up Ron Chernow's brilliant biography on one of the great patriots of all time.
Adding comments has been disabled because of too many idiots saying Hamilton "got what was coming to him", "Burr was right to kill him", "I wish he was dead sooner", etc. Whatever you think of anyone's politics, to wish death on someone is pathetic.
