Alexander Hamilton - He was the architect of our economic system and I believe he developed the concept of the corporation. He layed the basis for the American system of free enterprise and capitalism.

Hamilton, creator of the central bank of America (Had the Bill of Rights been ratified at the time, Washington might of not signed the Bill, 10th Amendment reasons), Whiskey tax, other oppressive fed. taxes, and promoted a "monarchy" because he thought America should not be run by “commoners”.

Why do you think Jefferson, promoter of individual/State rights, quit Washington's Cabinet and had severe ideological differences with Hamilton?

Jefferson began cutting the taxes the former Secretary of Treasury proposed and the debt began to shrink ( Reduced the debt by 1/3). That on top of the Louisiana Purchase.

The Federalist party, started by Hamilton, was pretty much a non-factor after 1800 because their policies and superior attitude “stunk up the place”.

Did you know Hamilton promoted Fed. censorship of the press? Yes, your hero went well out of his way to suppress the Democratic-Republic/Jeffersonian ideology by using his own editors to serve as postmaster in the Federal government. Republicanism was indeed censored back in the day by Hamilton and the Federalist.

Unless you were a farmer in a southern state, or advocated resistance to British heavy-handed tactics against your merchant ships, or you were against a federal bank.
Is it any wonder Thomas Jefferson mistrusted and despised this guy?
