(I call on you, @TopazWyrmlet~ )
I HAVE BEEN XALLED)
I WANT TO REVIVE THIS
SO:
Ladies and gentlemen, you coulda been anywhere in the world tonight, but you’re here with us in New York City. Are you ready for a cabinet meeting???

The issue on the table
Secretary Hamilton's plan to assume State debt and establish a national bank
Secretary Jefferson, you have the floor, sir
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. We fought for these ideals we shouldn't settle for less.
These are wise words, enterprising men quote 'em. Don't act surprised you guys, cause I wrote 'em.
OWWW
But Hamilton forgets, his plan would have the government assume states debts
Now, place your bets as to who that benefits, the very seat of government where Hamilton siiiiits
NOT TRUE
Oh if the shoe fits wear it, if New York's in debt, why should Virginia bear it?
Uh… our debts are paid I'm afraid! Don't tax the South cause we got it maaade in the shaaade
In Virginia, we plant seeds in the ground. We create. You just wanna move our money around
group
This financial plan is an outrageous demand
And it's too many DAMN pages for any man to underSTAND
Stand with me in the land of the free
And pray to God we never see Hamilton’s candidacy
Look, when Britain taxed our tea, we got frisky
Imagine what gon’ happen when you try to tax our whisky
Thank you, Secretary Jefferson. Secretary Hamilton, your response
Thomas. That was a real nice declaration
Welcome to the present, we’re running a real nation
Would you like to join us?
Or stay mellow doin' whatever the hell it is you do in Monticello?
If we assume the debts, the union gets
A new line of credit, a financial diuretic
How do you not get it? If we’re aggressive and competitive
The union gets a boost. You’d rather give it a sedative?
A civics lesson from a slaver. Hey neighbour
Your debts are paid cause you don’t pay for labour

‘We plant seeds in the south, we create!”
Yeah, keep ranting. We all know who’s really doing the planting.
…
And another thing, Mister ‘Age Of Enlightenment’, don’t lecture me about the war, you didn’t fight in it! You think I’m frightened of you, man? We almost died in a trench while you were off getting high with the French!
Thomas Jefferson, always hesitant with the President
Reticent—there isn’t a plan he doesn’t jettison
Madison, you’re mad as a hatter, son, take your medicine
Damn, you’re in worse shape than the national debt is in
Sittin’ there useless as two shits
Hey, turn around, bend over, I’ll show you where my shoe fits!
(that's my favorite part lol)
(me toooooooooooooo)
