You are quoting an inveterent enemy of Hamilton. Given that TRUTH the statement can be properly evaluated. And thus entirely discredited by honest men.

So, lentulusgracchus and GOPcapitalist, you job description has apparently changed again. If you want to be critical of Hamilton (or is his name Titan? Colossus? come on!), you need find firsthand authority. (New rule #1292:) Such firsthand authority can not have been openly critical of Hamilton, or else he is automatically discredited.

And don't forget rule #1175: Any evidence of real-world failures concerning economic interventionism or successes of it's opposite may be dismissed out of hand.

There was nothing in my statement which said Hamilton was immune from criticism even by his enemies merely acknowledgement that it is deceptive and dishonest to use the portrait painted by those who hated him pretending that it was from an objective source. It has no more value than me quoting Rufus King extolling him without noting their close alliance.

Quoting a Yates is not going to convince anyone who actually knows anything about him or that period.

Nor is there any "evidence" of those economic failures merely opinion based upon ideology.
