THE BOOK OF DAMN
YANKEES
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE BOOK OF MANIFEST DESTINY
Jackson does something about the banks
Chapter 25
Jackson also invented something called nJacksonian democracy,
2oMeaning rule by illiterate hicks who spit ptobacco juice on the carpet,
3And resulted in the Yank tradition of electing presidents who were born in log cabins,
4Which made them honest and great,
5For some reason.
6qJackson also did something about the banking situation that was causing all the terrible economic depressions,
7rAlthough no one can remember whether what he did made it better or worse,
8sExcept that he felt very strongly about it,
9tAnd absolutely positively refused to change his mind,
10uAnd therefore must have been a great president.
