"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

I don't know much about Chip Franklin, but he certainly took Hegseth and his tiny penis to task.

@jack2011.bsky.social Thank you!
Agreed. So when one person holds $500 billion — that's 12.5 million years of other people's time and energy at median income. Not earned. Extracted. You just described it perfectly. Jefferson's solution: tax higher portions of wealth "in geometrical progression as they rise" to Madison Oct 28 1785.

That's exactly what Adams meant by ease, comfort, and security. Not a finish line. A foundation. You can't pursue anything while you're drowning.

Jefferson's REAL definition: he was an Epicurean. His summum bonum — the highest good — was "to be not pained in body, nor troubled in mind." Not rugged striving. The removal of suffering as the precondition for everything else.

That Jefferson/Adams exchange you cited isn't in the historical record. Not in Founders Online, not in the Papers of Jefferson, not anywhere. In an era of rampant misinformation, we owe the Founders their actual words.
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.

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.
The wealthy trick the working class into guarding their pockets against each other — while the wealthy walk out the back door with the vault. As the founders envisioned, We the People are kindred, not enemies. It’s time we started acting like it.
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.

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.
