Alexander Hamilton was ten times the man Thomas Jefferson was

Hamilton argued for an elected monarch, a national bank, a mercantilistic state much as Britain had at the time, Senators for life exactly as the House of Lords, and a subjugation of the states to the federal government instead of the federalism originally established by the Founders.

Hamilton was a worthless man. All I can say is too bad Burr killed him. Else within a few years people might have seen him for what he really was, a monarchist with an iron fist

Your comments about Hamilton not only indicate a collosal ignorance (but great familiarity with the LIES of his enemies) of the man but are a direct slap in the face to George Washington and every man who fought for our independence. You also need to look at the meaning of mercantilism before trying to use it in a sentence. Just because GOPcrapitalist says he was a mercantilist not only does not make it true but is almost a guarantee it is false.

Hamilton not only WAS a Founder but was without a peer which even his enemies admitted. His sacrifices to create Federalism are unsurpassed by anyone, especially his enemies.

Hamilton spent almost his entire life strengthening his and my nation so I am not surprised to find a unrepentant defender of traitors attacking him with another load of lies. When can we expect an attack on Washington, the man who brought him to significance and power and whose entire administration's program was Hamilton's doing. Was George Washington "worthless" too?

You cannot find one word of Hamilton's writings where he advocated a monarch of the United States and he wrote thousands and thousands of pages in his life. In fact, the greatest commentary on the constitution is largely his work.
Hamilton's "plan" = the Constitution of the United States.
