You watch Fox News? Frequently enough to compare today with other days? Seriously? I was flipping through the channels at my grandmother's apartment yesterday, and they had some guy impersonating Alexander Hamilton (in full costume) complaining about Obama's big guvment.

And you guys wonder why our education system makes me cry sometimes........

Agreed.  If they were living today and held similar views to what they held then (adjusted for two centuries difference in what the main issues are), Hamilton would be a Democrat and Jefferson would be a Republican.

I don't think so. Hamilton represented business interests first and foremost.

Hamilton's proposed means of aiding business interests were protective tariffs and stimulative spending on American manufactures.  Sounds far more like a Democratic proposal than a Republican one.  He wanted a stronger national government, which again is more Democratic than Republican these days.
