In 1804, Thomas Jefferson’s vice president Aaron Burr had also avoided murder charges after killing former Treasury secretary and founding father Alexander Hamilton in a duel.

I propose a tournament to raise funds for the current economic crisis.

Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out.”

Please research on the differences in philosophy between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson/James Madison. Hamilton (Washington's right hand man and the first Secretary of the Treasury) is basically the man who built the first National Bank (Bank of the United States). Hamilton believed in trickle down economics while Jefferson and Madison were against it. Repubs of today are easily much more Hamiltonian than Jeffersonian in every which way.

Um, true fiscal conservatives have always been anti-bank and anti-elite.

The problem for people like you is you want to stereotype folks because they don't support Obama.

C'mon, I know someone out there has to support my tournament idea :depressed
