Andrew Jackson Frasi e Citazioni

“Anch'io sono stato un attento osservatore delle azioni della Banca degli Stati Uniti. Ho avuto uomini che vi hanno osservato per lungo tempo, e sono convinto che voi avete utilizzato i fondi della banca per speculare sulle granaglie del paese. Quando vincevate, dividevate i profitti fra di voi, e quando perdevate, addebitavate alla banca. Voi mi dite che se io prendo i depositi dalla banca e annullo il suo statuto rovinerò 10.000 famiglie. Questo può essere vero, signori, ma questo è il vostro errore! Dovrei lasciarvi andare avanti, rovinerete 50.000 famiglie, e ciò sarebbe il mio errore! Voi siete un covo di vipere e ladri. Intendo scovarvi e, nel nome del Dio Eterno, (battendo il suo pugno sul tavolo) vi scoverò.”

“Gentlemen! I too have been a close observer of the doings of the Bank of the United States. I have had men watching you for a long time, and am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I have determined to rout you out, and by the Eternal, (bringing his fist down on the table) I will rout you out!”

“It is maintained by some that the bank is a means of executing the constitutional power “to coin money and regulate the value thereof.””

Andrew Jackson

Congress have established a mint to coin money and passed laws to regulate the value thereof. The money so coined, with its value so regulated, and such foreign coins as Congress may adopt are the only currency known to the Constitution. But if they have other power to regulate the currency, it was conferred to be exercised by themselves, and not to be transferred to a corporation. If the bank be established for that purpose, with a charter unalterable without its consent, Congress have parted with their power for a term of years, during which the Constitution is a dead letter. It is neither necessary nor proper to transfer its legislative power to such a bank, and therefore unconstitutional. Often paraphrased as: If Congress has the right under the constitution to issue paper money, it was given them to be used by themselves, not to be delegated to individuals or corporations. 1830s Origine: Veto Message Regarding the Bank of the United States http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/ajveto01.asp (10 July 1832)
