Not many libruls know that Adam Smith was a liberal; on the other hand, not many conservatives know that his tax maxims are the origin of progressive taxation.
the founders were well versed on Smith's theories; they took his work to the next level by establishing a form of government that was based on nature's laws.
one of the great problems we face today is our Constitution is based on morality, something in short supply today.
