Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson was one of the Founders of the United States of America. He wrote the Declaration of Independence. He was the Third President of the United States of America. He advanced America in many ways. He purchased the Louisiana area. He did many great things. This video takes a look at some of those things.

Thomas Jefferson was a coward, he didn't know shit about freedom, If the British would have done just a fraction of what slave holder where doing to black families he would have know what all men created equal means. his problem was he was to worried about raping young 15 year old black girls. Sexual pervert

The ironic thing is that Jefferson's portrait is on a fiat paper currency issued by a private central bank.

@RonPaulRevolution4u Bro it wasn't just the central brank you gotta get over your obsession with that. In Thomas Jefferson's time England was divided between rich and poor, the capitalists had everything, the laborers struggled to make enough money to survive, and the paupers were often homeless and starving.

Alexander Hamilton defended this system, arguing that a system in which employers hired employees would have more wealth and a ruling class. Thomas Jefferson favored worker independence.

@Laughingblades

Before I go: You're certainly correct that Jefferson opposed a ruling class and the unfair accumulation of wealth by them. THIS is why he opposed a central bank. He knew that well connected individuals and corporations would be artificially fed and propped up, then perpetuated, and also that a cent. bank could artificially manipulate interest rates plus that by artificially inflating/deflating of money end up distorting market conditions in favor these connected elites as well.

@RonPaulRevolution4u Look for the one that he wrote after the burning of the Capital, you know, the one pertaining to the conversation :p

[RonPaulRevolution4u]

@Laughingblades

I'm looking for the letter you mention. There might be several that he and Dr. Cooper wrote back and forth. It is my bedtime now and so I will get back on this tomorrow.

[Laughingblades]

@RonPaulRevolution4u Not sure why u mad but you seem a touch senile maybe you should refresh your waning memory by reading it since it said nothing of Church and State.

[RonPaulRevolution4u]

@Laughingblades

No, I'm never too old to learn, but am offended by your condescending tone.

My recollection of that letter is that it had to do with a wall between Church and State, which has often been used to refute religious conservatives. I read several books on Jefferson years ago & recall no mention in any of any opposition to employment. Humans have practiced employment for 1000's of years and is natural in human affairs. Jefferson himself employed. It is a pillar of civilization.

@RonPaulRevolution4u Too old to learn eh? Why don't you read Thomas Jefferson's letter to Dr. Thomas Cooper, it might educate you a little...

No you won't do that, you are fixated ONLY on the central bank, you refuse to look beyond that. You are content to employ Capitalist Apologetics, you must ignore anything Thomas Jefferson ever said that was opposed to the wage labor system you defend as if it were freedom.

Yes, he did, learn something old man.
