Did Banks Get Bailed Out Because They Laundered Drug Money & Hide Elite Wealth?

American history is beyond fascinating and most Americans don't even know it. What would you say if you were offered your own kingdom full of servants? That is more or less what the eight presidents before George Washington who only served one term and 95% of a nation that can't name one. The American middle class was never meant to be more than the mule, oxen, yoke to tow the line and support the wars, corporations, poor, and big pharma. Middle class American moving either up or down - to the government food line, or the no tax, launder your money, nonprofit eilte style of living. Why pay! Make it a non-profit, or a foundation, or just put it in a bank that won't give your cash wealth secret away. Flashback 2011 and John Cornyn saying 51 percent of American households pay no income tax. July 7, 2011, floor speech, Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, offered a striking statistic about how few American households pay federal income taxes.

Of course 95% of the nation can’t name one, because they didn’t exist!

If you're talking about Presidents of the United States of America, then you'd be correct as Washington was the first President of the USA.

But, if you'll recall after the war, the original 13 colonies signed Articles of Confederation and there were 10 different Presidents prior to the forming of the USA. These are usually referred to as "Presidents of the United States in Congress Assembled".
