If the Founding Fathers were alive today, what party would they be members of?
As is would be easily expected, societies change over time. In America we no longer have slavery. We honor the heritage of the Native Americans. We pay taxes in more ways than we can count on our fingers; federal income, SS, inheritance, state income, state sales, capital gains, special taxes on alcohol and tobacco, etc. We have public state operated schools where Christianity is banned except under certain conditions and I could go on.
In reading up on the Founding Fathers I often ask myself which political party would they most likely join and why. What do you think?
