Which Founding Father are you?

Survey says I'm Jefferson (minus the slaves, of course), but did no one proofread the summary?

You're the third president of the United States so you're kind of a big deal! Your lawyer skills are awesome and since you owned 5,000 acres of land by the age of 21, you're pretty mature. Oh, and you wrote the Deceleration[sic] of Independence, No big deal.

Yes, Jefferson was all about decelerating independence.

George Washington.

The personality descriptors seemed to be geared towards needy hipster millennials from NYC.

Ben pretty much had me with the needy hipster millennials, so I had to take the quiz and also got George Washington.

They picked George Washington for someone whose personal motto is "Once you learn how to fake sincerity the rest is all downhill"?

However, being the Father of the country does have its advantages; foremost is "I brought you into this world and I can take you out, too!"

stay safe.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Thomas Jefferson.

Probably because I put a big deal on quality of education and rather hang out in a park than the office.

Franklin.  I'm guessing that, like most list of Founding Fathers, they left Mason out altogether.
