Quotes About the Economy From our Founding Fathers


Click here to see what the Founding Fathers of our Country said about the American economy. It has many quotes from many of our Founding Fathers, including, Lincoln, Jackson, Roosevelt and others. Here's one example of a quote from Jefferson from the site:


If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and the corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.

... The modern theory of the perpetuation of debt has drenched the earth with blood, and crushed its inhabitants under burdens ever accumulating. -Thomas Jefferson
