You stupid son of a bitch you and your idiotic nonsense about Northern New York bankers and plutocrats has been debunked by so many here who’ve proven how wrong your are. Don’t you ever get tired of looking like an idiot?
I generally avoid blaming “bankers”, though I must assume they were part of the robber baron power cartel that backed Lincoln and later pulled his strings.
People tend to focus too much on “bankers” as the bad guys, and I have always felt this is intended to be a subtle form of anti-semitism, and I just don’t support the spread of such ideas.
It was the Industrialists. It was the manufacturers, shippers, insurers, warehousers, and yes, probably some bankers as well. It was anyone who had money or power and who were part of the “in” crowd that is still running the Nation from their Northeastern Cartel now.
