Of course George Washington and Dwight D. Eisenhower tend to contradict the principle.
Isn't George Washington the fellow who put down the Whiskey Rebellion, imposed stiff taxes and penalties for distilling liquor and then became the largest distillery owner in the USA?
No hero is perfect, which is why limited government is a vital ingredient in Liberty!
I blame Hamilton for those things. He had way too much influence over Washington. Washington wasn't an intellectual giant, and looked up to Hamilton intellectually. Sort of the way SteveNo and Bob look up to me.
