From John Adams' Thoughts on Government, April 1776: "Laws for the liberal education of youth, especially of the lower class of people, are so extremely wise and useful, that, to a humane and generous mind, no expense for this purpose would be thought extravagant."

"That government is best which governs least." Jefferson never said it. The line traces to Thoreau, 1849 — 23 years after Jefferson died. Jefferson supported public education, the Louisiana Purchase, federally funded exploration, and progressive wealth taxes. The libertarian Jefferson is a fiction.

938 billionaires hold $8.2 trillion. Sanders wants a 5% tax. They call it radical. Jefferson proposed taxing wealth at rates that ACCELERATE the higher you go (Progressively) in 1785. This was before France collapsed under inequality. Four years later: the French Revolution. Who's the radical?

Jefferson never said "government best which governs least." Paine proposed Social Security in 1797. Hamilton supported broad federal spending. 16 Founder myths demolished with their actual words. Free at www.TrueAmericanism.org/rebuttals 🇺🇸 #TrueAmericanism #Founders #WeThePeople

In 1992 James Carville said 'It's the economy, stupid.' In 1776 John Adams said government exists to secure ease, comfort and security. 250 years apart. Same answer. Corporate Democrats keep forgetting

“Socialism vs. Capitalism” is a diversion keeping us trapped in old battles. Time to return to the Founders’ actual intent: the attainment of Ease, Comfort, and Security for We the People. 🇺🇸 Help get this booklet into candidates' hands to move our country in a better direction.

"Socialism vs. Capitalism" is a diversion designed to keep us fighting while the vault is emptied. The Founders promised something better: the attainment of Ease, Comfort, & Security—the true "Pursuit of Happiness". Candidates need this blueprint for True Americanism. 🇺🇸 TrueAmericanism.org

The Founders listed 'Standing Armies without Consent' as a crime of King George. In 2025, ICE detention expanded 91% while arrests of people with NO criminal record surged 2,450%. Congress was denied access to facilities. This isn't border security—it's tyranny. TrueAmericanism.org

A billion dollars = 25,000 years of human labor. One person. 25,000 lifetimes. That's not success. That's extraction. The Founders had a word for that level of accumulated power over your fellow citizens. They called it tyranny. Learn more at TrueAmericanism.com

Madison, 1792: government must use "the silent operation of laws" to "reduce extreme wealth towards mediocrity, and raise extreme indigence towards comfort." The Father of the Constitution. Not a radical. Not a socialist. A Founder. #TrueAmericanism

George Mason wrote that government must provide no less carefully for the happiness of the lowest than the highest citizens. He authored the Virginia Declaration that inspired Jefferson. He refused to sign the Constitution without a Bill of Rights. History buried him. Remember him.

George Mason wrote that government must protect the happiness of the lowest citizens as carefully as the highest. He was directly influenced by John Adams’ Thoughts on Government. His Virginia Declaration then inspired Jefferson’s in writing the Declaration of Independence. History forgot him.

You cannot have political liberty without economic justice, and vice versa. And you cannot have either without power — which, in the end, is force. That's not cynicism. That's why the Founders put the Second Amendment right after the First. Speech without teeth is just begging. TrueAmericanism.org

A billion dollars isn't "earnings." It's 25,000 years of human labor — extracted, crystallized, and controlled by one person. That's not success. That’s theft. That's a small town's entire working lives in someone's pocket.

I didn't want to end up here. But the Founders dragged me. Ease. Comfort. Security. Adams said that's what happiness means — and he was in the room when Jefferson wrote it. I wrote down what I found. True Americanism: Fulfilling the Promise of the Founders. Trueamericanism.org

Medicare-for-All is insurance of, by, and for the people. The "Pursuit of Happiness" is a cruel joke when one diagnosis can bankrupt a family. For-profit insurers collect billions not to heal, but to deny care. M4A isn't a departure from our founding principles—it's the fulfillment of them.

RELEASE THE UNREDACTED EPSTEIN FILES TODAY, DONNIE DEMENTIA RIDDLED DIPSHIT.......

John Adams, 1776: The best government is the one that provides "ease, comfort, and security" to the greatest number. That's not socialism. That's the man who put Jefferson forward to write the Declaration telling you what "Pursuit of Happiness" actually meant.

In the wealthiest nation in human history a diagnosis can be a financial or real death sentence, because insurance companies extract profit from pain by denying care. Adams called for Security. Jefferson called for Life. The Founders called both unalienable. It's why we must demand Medicare for All.

Adams defined government's purpose as Security for every citizen. Jefferson called Life unalienable. Neither man envisioned a corporation standing between a dying patient and their doctor — extracting profit from pain. They would have called that robbery.

The MAGA influencer meltdown continues—this time with big-name influencers saying they think Trump staged his assassination attempt in Butler. These people are deeply, deeply unwell.

What if the "Pursuit of Happiness" wasn't vague Enlightenment poetry—but a specific, concrete mandate for economic security? What if the Founders were more radical than either party wants to admit? I spent months in the primary sources. Here's what I found. TrueAmericanism.org

Capitalism vs Socialism is a false choice invented after the Founders died. Jefferson never said capitalism. Adams never said socialism. They said General Welfare. Ease, Comfort, Security - in a word Happiness, to the greatest number. Stop fighting over their labels. Demand their outcomes.

The 'Pursuit of Happiness' in the Declaration has a definition. John Adams wrote it in 1776: ease, comfort, and security. You were never taught that. Ask yourself why.

In October of 1785 Jefferson wrote Madison that enormous inequality produces misery, and proposed exempting the poor from taxation while taxing higher wealth in geometrical progression as it rises. That's not socialism. That's Jefferson. In a letter. To Madison. Look it up.

Thomas Jefferson to James Madison October 28th 1785. Exempt the poor from taxation entirely. Tax the wealthy progressively as wealth rises. His words. His idea. His Republic. Next time someone calls progressive taxation socialism — remind them which Founding Father proposed it.

“an enormous Proportion of Property vested in a few individuals is dangerous to the Rights, and destructive of the Common Happiness, of Mankind" - proposal submitted by Benjamin Franklin to be enshrined in the first Pennsylvania Constitution in 1776.

Liberty without Security is just the freedom to starve in the cold. Security without Liberty is mere subsistence - the life of a well-fed prisoner. TrueAmericanism.org

Hamilton wanted the luxury of the rich to fund the public treasury. Instead we invented "buy, borrow, die" — a system where the ultra-wealthy pay nothing and leave the debt to us. He'd have called it what it is. Theft.

Concentrated wealth redefined the 'Pursuit of Happiness' as rugged individualism. John Adams meant ease, comfort, and security for every citizen. The rewrite wasn't accidental. It was profitable.

We didn’t fire a king to crown another. We the people are still the only legitimate source of power in this Republic, and it’s past time we started acting like it.
