"There are a few focal points upon which Jackson's modern reputation has turned for better or for worse.One is his attack on corporate privilege and on the concentrated political influence of wealth.In his famous Bank Veto of 1832,Jackson juxtaposed "the rich and powerful" against "the humble members of society-the farmers,mechanics,and laborers," and lamented that the former "too often bend the acts of government to their selfish purposes." No president before and few since have spoken so bluntly of economic antagonisms between Americans."

"When President Jackson confronted the Bank of the United States in 1832,he did so with the belief that it was a corrupt fiscal monster threatening the nation's economic security.He not only vetoed the Bank's re charter,which was within his right as chief executive,but went a step further by removing federal deposits even after Congress had deemed them safe.Jackson transferred one secretary of the treasury and fired another in order to secure the deposit removals.His actions were questionable,if not completely illegal,and the Senate censured him by making a notation in their journal.They didn't attempt impeachment for lack of support."
Matthew Warshauer,Professor of History at Central Connecticut State University,2008
