Dear fiddletown, I suspect that the founding fathers would faint if they saw what we have done with what they gave us. First of all, the Fed is a privately owned bank that tells our government what to do. Our taxation rate is MUUUUUCH higher than what prompted the Boston Tea Party. Executive orders usurp congressional power.
Essentially, if you read the Federalist papers, every safeguard placed in the constitution and bill of rights was to prevent the very system we have evolved into. Thus, going by that measuring line, yes, I contend we have slipped away from the original intentions given to us by the founding fathers. I believe that they would be sickened by what this nation has become especially when looking at the national debt issue which will lead to loss of freedoms. The Federalist papers spell it out in black and white but who lifts them up any longer?
