“Gentlemen! I too have been a close observer of the doings of the Bank of the United States. I have had men watching you for a long time, and am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country.
When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin!
You are a den of vipers and thieves. I have determined to rout you out, and by the Eternal, (bringing his fist down on the table) I will rout you out.”
Andrew Jackson, in a meeting with the Bankers in Philadelphia, February 1834
Yeah, Andy’s picture surely does NOT belong on any Federal Reserve Note uttered under the administration of that den of vipers and thieves in the Eccles Building.
His ghost will be relieved when his portrait is taken off the $20.
I always found it …. wrong …. that he was on the fake 20 dollar bill.
He would have never approved.
Thanks I neede that
