The income tax was largely the work of Seligman and Co., who pushed Warburg to basically enforce it and use lackeys to get it through. Seligman, unfortunately, was also good friends with Lincoln. Lincoln was assassinated, most likely because he started to go against the radical republicans wishes of complete reconstruction of the South. Also, if Lincoln was not assassinated, African-Americans and slaves were to be emigrated back to their home countries with American protection (disagree or agree is beside the point). The bankers wanted wage slavery and permanent public debt. Using labor as collateral for taxes. Seligman Swiss bank (Seligman familiy are swiss Jews) was also the bank that was used to finance the JFK assassination. Source: Michelle Metta's book on the JFK assassination.

Baring banking family appeared to own the first bank, Hamilton (Levine) allegedly was a Rothschild agent; though, some say he actually wanted to build a US empire to stand-up against Britain but that theory seems to be debunked because Hamilton liked monarchy, was fond of Britain, and imposed permanent public debt on the American people, something Jefferson and Jackson, despite their many flaws, did not want. The executive branch is Hamilton's doing. Also, Jackson re-appointed Baring and Co as agent of the banking system in the US. The shareholders of Baring and Co. were around 25% British citizens. It is a british banking house after all and a rival of NMR. NMR went bankrupt under Jackson but when he died Belmont reinvigorated the dying NMR bank and became agent to Rothschild.

Also, nominee accounts should be illegal! I know basically the oublic owns the banking apparatus now for they hold the most stock via pensions, etc. but I don't really know who owns the bank today.
