You Have Factions That Hate America And Its Sovereignty
Who Was Supposed To Share The Wealth With The American People?
William McKinley (then a rising congressman, later president) and allies behind the McKinley Tariff of 1890. They pushed high protective tariffs that generated huge federal surpluses. The government was literally running budget surpluses year after year, with excess cash piling up in the Treasury. You can also include Nelson Aldrich and the old-money Eastern establishment senators (tied to emerging industrial and banking interests). These were the operators managing the revenue flood.
This wasn’t a shadowy cabal in the modern sense, but a very real network of Gilded Age industrialists, railroad barons, and their political proxies in Washington. Families and factions like the Rockefellers (oil), Carnegies (steel), and Vanderbilts (rail) benefited enormously from the protective tariffs that shielded their industries while the government raked in cash. The “hand out money” talk reflected real legislative pushes things like the Dependent Pension Act expansions and surplus distribution ideas that aimed to spread some of that wealth to keep political support among workers and veterans.
This ties straight into the current tariff push: using import duties to generate revenue that could theoretically fund rebates, dividends, or tax relief for Americans, bypassing the IRS machinery. In the clip, it’s presented as returning to that pre-1913 model where the government had more than enough without taxing labor directly.
