“a central bank which most “populists” regard as part of a “Judaeo-Masonic-Communist conspiracy”
How nice of you to pigeonhole populists as conspiracy cranks. Did you poll them, or is this data of the Wild Assed Guess sort?
Okay. I went too far. But there are conspiracy cranks out there who call themselves "populists." I also realize that the word "populism" basically means the same thing as "democracy," which most anti-conspiracy people worship like an idol.
But you missed my point: if the Populists agree with Washington and Hamilton on the protective tariff, they disagree with them on everything else. And I don't think the original Populists were protectionists anyway.
“And I don’t think the original Populists were protectionists anyway.”
Who do you include in the original populists? Those who opposed the Constitution on the grounds that it gave the central government too much power? Men that included George Mason and Patrick Henry?
