Any citizen who works in this nation currently pays at least 1/3 of our income to the governments. Does anyone think Franklin would approve of the tax and spend policy of this government?
I doubt very seriously that any of the founders would approve of the circus that we have going on right now. Hamilton would be overjoyed though.
Yes. I did. Because Ben Franklin is merely one of many founders. I highly doubt his belief was unique though. Perhaps you can find a Founder who thinks we should be taxed 1/3 of our time?
I highly doubt that. Hamilton was unique among the founders. But he also believed in financial discipline. He wanted the Republic to have a strong financial foundation. I think he would be horrified by the current spending and taxing.
Very much so hed be amazed at the great value each citizen receives from his tax dollar: clean, paved streets, schools, hospitals, clean water and sewage treatment beats dodging the contents of chamber pots thrown out of bedroom windows in BFs day.
