Government exists for the common good — for the protection, safety, prosperity, and happiness of the people — and NOT for the profit or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men. — John Adams, Massachusetts Constitution, 1780 TrueAmericanism.org

Liberty isn't just the absence of a master. It's the presence of dignity. Not theoretical rights on paper — practical possibilities in the real world. A shot at a good life for everyone. Not just those with a silver spoon in their mouth. That's what the Founders meant. TrueAmericanism.org

Our representatives should have calluses on their hands, not their hearts. Instead we get soft hands and callused hearts — bought before they announce, funded by billionaires, voting to take food from hungry children. The Founders called this aristocracy. TrueAmericanism.org

Musk. Page. Ellison. Three people. Combined wealth: $1.2 trillion. At median income that's 30.7 million years of human labor. 30.7 million years of stolen labor. Jefferson called this aristocracy. He proposed the remedy in 1785, tax the fuck out of their wealth. TrueAmericanism.org

True Americanism isn't a bridge between left and right. It's a political ideology before left and right. TrueAmericanism.org

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?

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

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

Samuel Adams, 1780: "If ever vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." He wasn't predicting. He was warning. We weren't listening.

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

Adams envisioned government as creating an environment where the masses could attain ease, comfort, & security. The only thing standing in our way to make this happen is ourselves. We must strip away corporate control that would enslave us all, give the Ultra-Wealthy another dollar & absolute power.

John Adams, 1776: educating youth is so "wise and useful" that to a "humane and generous mind, no expense for this purpose would be thought extravagant." We turned that into $1.7 trillion in student debt. Adams would be furious.

Billionaires don't earn wealth — they extract it, borrow against it, tax-free. You pay taxes on every paycheck. They borrow billions against stock, buy politicians, inflate the stock, borrow more. When it crashes? You pay that bill too. This isn't capitalism. It's a rigged machine.

Smith called the wealthy "masters of mankind." Jefferson told legislators to break their grip. That was 1776 and 1785. The Founders weren't subtle. We just stopped reading what the Founders actually said and let pundits “translate” them for us.

Inequality produces misery. Jefferson knew it. Writing to Madison in 1785 he declared: legislators "cannot invent too many devices for subdividing property." He was addressing all legislators, not just France.

Adam Smith named them: merchants & manufacturers who capture government policy. "All for ourselves, nothing for other people — the vile maxim of the masters of mankind." Wealth of Nations, 1776. Still the operating system. Libertarians would have you believe otherwise about Smith.

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.

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.

All the hate involving citizens of the US is fueled by billionaires telling people the poor are the problem.

John Adams would be appalled by a public hospitals closing due to Medicaid cuts. Somewhere a mother is desperate, not knowing where to take her sick child. This isn’t the government Adams envisioned that secures ease, comfort & security for the greatest number in the greatest degree.

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

Yes, I harp on Adams a lot. But he defined "happiness" as ease, comfort & security — then was in the room when Jefferson wrote "pursuit of Happiness." Into the Declaration of Independence. That's not coincidence. That's a chain of custody for what the Founders actually meant.

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.

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.

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.

Somewhere between 'tax the rich' and 'shall not be infringed' is a coherent philosophy the Founders actually held. Most people never hear it because it doesn't fit a bumper sticker or a fundraising email. It's there if you look. TrueAmericanism.org

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

Controversial opinion: Every American should get basic training and a psych eval out of high school. First paid job. Learn how to use a gun, when to use it, and why. That's not gun control — that's a well regulated militia. The Founders would approve.

Militia meetings. Assault rifles. Radical Right roots. Poverty so deep the well was often dry. I grew up reading the Founders writings. Then I went back with more mature eyes. I didn't abandon my roots — I finally understood them. TrueAmericanism.org

Paine, 1797: Wealth beyond what your own hands produce is owed back to society 'on every principle of justice.' Not charity. Not kindness. Justice. TrueAmericanism.org

‘Pursuit of Happiness’ wasn't vague. John Adams defined it in 1776: ease, comfort, security. Not luxury for the few — dignity for the many. That's not radical. That's a founding principle in our Declaration of Independence. TrueAmericanism.org

Enormous wealth invariably accumulates enormous political power, and enormous political power invariably accumulates enormous wealth.' That's not Marx. That's John Taylor, U.S. Senator, 1814. TrueAmericanism.org

Thomas Paine proposed social security in 1797. Jefferson proposed progressive taxation in 1785. Adams said government exists for our 'ease, comfort, and security.' Founders didn’t say what we have been led to believe they said. They were for economic as well as political justice TrueAmericanism.org

𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬: Marx: Labor × Time = Value Mainstream: Item × Desire = Value They're both half right. Labor × Time = Item (Labor × Time) × Desire = Value At median income, $1 billion = 25,000 lifetimes of labor. That's not a "job creator." That's a hoarder of human lives.
