The founding fathers lived in a time of scarcity. This is an entirely different era, 15 generations past. Back then there was no retirement, the average life span was 40. There was very little healthcare.

We should ask the founding fathers what their government should manage if they were all rich beyond their wildest imaginations.

"We should ask the founding fathers what their government should manage if they were all rich beyond their wildest imaginations."

Some would go 'big & bold', others would opt for 'small & restrained'.

Let's consult a medium and find out.
