American Founding Fathers

Hi, Ben Schaub here. I helped found the American Foundation over 20 years ago. The American Foundation helps families create Family Foundations in a more tax advantageous format. We have now created the American Founding Fathers Foundation that will also help families set up Family Foundations that can achieve incredible tax and financial benefits along with helping the cause of strengthening the Constitution and principles of limited government and free enterprise that were taught by our Founding Fathers.

In most cases, I can help you create a “Family Foundation” that will actually make you more money (net cash flow) while you are living, save you more taxes; and do this while allowing you to leave more tax free assets to your heirs. Call me at 602.677.4040; or email me at ben@americanfoundation.org and I will review your circumstances and then describe how a “Family Foundation” can help you achieve these fantastic results.

OUR MISSION: To provide annual grants and funding from component Family Foundation Accounts to help develop and promote the Education of all Americans in the knowledge and understand of our Constitution, including the following resounding truths and principles as taught by our Founding Fathers:

That our Founding Fathers were inspired by God in framing the Declaration of Independence and Constitution of the United States of America

That Government should be limited as proscribed in the Constitution and writings of the Founding Fathers

The historical setting under which the constitution was created, along with the principles of governance espoused by our Founding Fathers.

Acknowledging absolutes as the basis for our laws and God as the giver of freedom, and researching issues through the lens of the Constitution.

OUR PHILOSOPHY: Best seen through the writings and speeches of America’s Founding Fathers and those who followed in their footsteps throughout the past four hundred years:

EDUCATION AND RESEARCH
“A popular Government, without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.” – James Madison, August 4, 1822

ORIGINS OF FREEDOM
“God who gave us life gave us liberty. Can the liberties of a nation be secure when we have removed a conviction that these liberties are a gift of God? Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever.” – Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson Memorial, Washington DC

PROPER ROLE OF GOVERNMENT
“The history of liberty is a history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of the limitation of governmental power; not the increase of it.” – Woodrow Wilson, September 9, 1912

“Were we directed from Washington when to sow and when to reap, we should soon want bread.” – Thomas Jefferson, Autobiography

“The concentration of power is what always precedes the destruction of human initiative, and therefore of human energy.” – Woodrow Wilson, September 4, 1912

NATIONAL DEFENSE
“If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; if we desire to secure peace, on of the most powerful instruments of our rising, it must be known that we are at all times ready for War.” – George Washington, December 13, 1793

OUR DUTY
“No man is entitled to the blessing of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation.” – General Douglas MacArthur, May 3, 1948
