Elaborate on what you're saying.
"Criminal acts" is pretty broad. Since those days, the govt. has also made damn near EVERYTHING a "criminal act" lol
We aren't "allowed" by law to get high. Or to give a girl money to have sex. Or to get in our car without wearing a seat belt. Etc., etc.
So just for a good GFY history lesson...go through and pick out every bad thing that Rockefeller ever did.
I was just shocked to find out that he gave away over half of his fortune to charities. He probably did more "good" than 100 million people combined. But I guess that's overlooked today.
I had no idea he had given that much money to help people.
I'm like you and was raised being taught how "evil" he was.
That's the two things that caught me by surprise.
1) How horribly devalued the Federal Govt. has made our money.
2) That Rockefeller gave more money to people than anybody on Earth ever did before or since.
