Wealthy Presidents
02/20/12 at 13:57:10
 
For what it's worth, I saw a news story today that, in today's dollars, the wealthiest U. S. President was George Washington, whose fortune would be worth $525 Million today.
Next was Thomas Jefferson, at $255 Million today.

Has anyone else ever been amazed that our revolution, unlike any other that I can think of, was a revolution of the rich, mainly against an unfair tax system.  All of the other revolutions I can think of, particularly the French and the Russian, were revolutions of the impoverished and destitute against the wealthy class.

Pitchforks to the front, torches behind them, so they can identify the forkees in need of a good forkin.
