The Green Mountain Boys in Vermont were organized in the 1700s to fight the New Yorkers.
Donald Trump reminds one of Ethan Allen. The NY governor had put a bounty on Ethan of 10,000 pounds to anyone who captured him.
Ethan rode to Albany, went in a large tavern, ordered and drank a tankard of beer.
He then turned around, facing the crowd, drew his saber and said, "I understand there is a bounty on my head, does anyone want to try to collect it?" Nobody tried.
New York has been corrupt forever. My grandfather moved to California in the 1960’s. He was pulled over for speeding, so as standard practice when the officer came to his window and asked for his drivers license he tried to hand the officer his wallet. As he still had New York plates on his car, the officer simply said “you’re not in New York, just take your license out and give that to me.”
