The Jackson administration could reasonably be considered as partially responsible for some of the losses described above but not in the way his role in the Trail of Tears has been portrayed. Jackson made many alliances with Native American tribes when he defeated the British in the 1815 Battle of New Orleans and when he fought Creek warriors in 1814. He even adopted a Creek boy named Lyncoya as his son after he was orphaned in a battle with Creek warriors.

Lie#3: Andrew Jackson was crazy.

Andrew Jackson accomplished economic feats that have not been matched by any American President since. A president whose administration payed off the national debt and operated the last true balanced budget could not possibly be crazy. A general who commanded America's most amazing victory outside of the Revolutionary war itself cannot be crazy.

Why Jackson was Targeted

Secretary Lew supposedly considered removing Alexander Hamilton from the $10 bill first. Hamilton led one of charges that resulted in the surrender by Cornwallis' forces to George Washington's troops at Yorktown. Hamiltonian principles of government are far more supportive of Marxism and Fascism than the contrary Jeffersonian principles adopted by Andrew Jackson. Hamiltonian principles include a strong aristocratic national government, central banking, protectionist tariffs and incurring debt for infrastructure. Hamilton's principles died two deaths at the ballot box in the Federalist and Whig Parties before being crammed down the throats of Americans at gunpoint by the newly formed Republican Party in the 1860s.

Jackson followed Jeffersonian principles of limited national government, localized state banks, free trade and a balanced budget. Jeffersonian principles formed the foundation of the American government for about 72 of its first 80 years existence including both Jackson terms. These American principles are the antithesis of a Marxist or Fascist government. As America is continually forced more toward Marxist concepts of neutered sovereignty and Fascist concepts of infinite war, Jackson has no place on American currency and that is why Lew, the Obama administration and other Marxists want him removed from the $20 bill.

If Lew was actually concerned about American humanity he could have made other choices to remove presidents from the $5 and $50 dollar bills. Lew could have chosen to remove Abraham Lincoln who invaded Virginia with 14,000 troops on May 24, 1861, the morning after the people of Virginia voted to secede. Lincoln's invasion initiated the first major casualties of a 4 year war and led to the deaths of roughly 678,000 Americans, more than American deaths in all other wars combined. Lincoln's Union Army even made direct attacks on American civilians at many American cities including Vicksburg, Fredericksburg, Petersburg, Charleston and Atlanta.

Lew could have also chosen to remove U.S. Grant from the $50 bill since his administration was riddled with corruption. Worse yet, he was one of the generals, along with Sherman and Sheridan, who was responsible for many of those 678,000 American deaths. Grant's army directly and continually attacked American civilians in 1864 for weeks when it indiscriminately fired shells from a huge canon called the "Dictator" directly into the civilian population in the downtown city of Petersburg.

But these Presidents were not targeted to be removed because they carried out the policies that today's elite American Marxists and Fascists love so much. Those Presidents would never be targeted for removal from the face of American currency in lieu of Jackson.
