As I have told you before, you are nuts.

You wish I were. I'm undermining what you wish to believe in, and you don't like it.

No, you are just nuts. A few posts ago, you admitted that the cotton planters did not pay any tax and that they didn’t even sell the cotton to the Europeans, the cotton factors did. You also agreed that the cotton factors were mostly Northern banks. It was those same banks that financed the importation of goods into the United States and thereby paid the Federal tariffs. And you agree that the vast majority of those imports were in Northern ports and were sold to Northern citizens. But somehow you insist that the South paid 72% of Federal taxes. Like I said, you are nuts. Really nuts.
