In the famous words of godfather Michael Corleone - "No"

Me dino learned fro watching a biography of Andrew Jackson on the History Channel that he despised the idea of paper money.
Methinks some people had to be laughing their butts off when they put his face on the twenty dollar bill.

States of America, divided into Red and Blue!
Criminal, Liberal media kept Blue for themselves, attached Red to Republicans and label conservatives terrorist! I am so tired of hearing this
constitutional republic called a democracy.

I just acquired Brian Kilmeade's biography of Andrew Jackson and will get to reading it soon. I think it has more to do with his involvement in the War of 1812 than a full bio, though.

Aha! Thank you.

Yes and Jackson ended the 2nd.

Correct except the first bank was the Bank of the U.S. (1791-18-11) and the Second Bank was (1817-1836) nb

I've seen this supposition before, but Lincoln (1865), Garfield (1881), and McKinley (1901) were assassinated before there was a Fed (1913).

Have you ever considered that 4 of our Presidents were assassinated and another one wounded and the one thing they all had in common was they all wanted to do away with the Federal Reserve? NB

I know I've said this before, but one of my ancestors received a land grant in payment for his services in the Continental Army. No property taxes. No income taxes. No government busy bodies telling him what kind of house to build or how to build it. No busy bodies telling him what to plant or not plant or what to charge for his crop. He represents the first generation of free Americans. It's been going downhill since then for the citizenry and it's falling faster and faster. Edit add: The only remembrance left of him is there is a street in Elmira, NY that still bears his name.

we were for a short time, before the war between the states
when comms were slow

the rise of the carbetbaggers was a major blow to Freedom for all, using taxes as a weapon
not sure how often it happened before that

First I've heard of this. Can you supply a link or more info?

I think the USA or what it was meant to be has been seriously slipping away since at least 1913 with the Federal reserve Bank and income tax. Maybe long before that. The radical left is now trying to administer the coup de grace and it seems they are succeeding - at least for now.

"We" have never been the United States.
Only the scum in D.C. has been that corporation.
"We" are the sovereign people of the States united.
We should start acting like it and crush the Deep State D.C.

no, we are not in the United States, there was a brief period that we had the US mostly back from 2017 to 2021, but even that was under attack from inside and from without

the fall of the United States started with the appointment of the il-legal alien Caesar 0bama and now continues with the corrupt traitor biden the usurper

those that should have acted to stop both, those that swore Oaths, have done nothing, preferring to collect their pensions, fill their faces, sit back and watch sports
