Jefferson’s Side Hustle Tee (Comfort Colors) – America 250 Edition

from $24.51

Thomas Jefferson may have penned “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness,” but history nerds know the first draft leaned on something a little more… practical: Property.

That’s right—before Jefferson “pivoted,” Locke’s original line was about land, ownership, and side hustles that made Monticello tick. This tee plays with the irony of the startup founder of 1776 doing what all great entrepreneurs do—editing the pitch deck until the investors (ahem, Continental Congress) bought in.
Why you’ll love it:

  • Smart satire: A nod to Jefferson’s philosophical remixing.

  • Startup chic: Styled like a modern venture-funded brand—clean fonts, bold logos, sly asides.

  • Conversation starter: Perfect for history buffs, policy wonks, and anyone who’s ever crossed out “property” on a whiteboard and replaced it with “happiness.”

Wear it to your next July 4th cookout, seminar, or pitch meeting. Jefferson had Monticello. You’ve got this shirt
