Money is the root of our evil; and just as our Founding Fathers built a wall between church and state in order to prevent one from corrupting the other, so we, too, must build a wall between MONEY and STATE to prevent one from corrupting the other.... Our foremost demand must be to separate once and for all the corrosive union between money and government. ~ We hold this Truth to be self-evident: A government which represents only the interests of banks, media conglomerates, corporations and the richest #1 is no longer democracy. It is oligarchy.
A new form of democracy has come to rescue the old: as our Founding Fathers intended, a democracy by, for, and of the People again.
GET MONEY OUT OF POLITICS.
Get money out. period.
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of currency, first by inflation, and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conqured." -Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson was right - the control over and issuance of money is now in the hands of the FED, a private institution - and the results of this monstruosity match the words of TJ - just look around. This is the root cause of all problems and needs to be addressed before anyhting else.
Watch the documentary 'The Money Masters' - essential information... !! (Google Video, but also bittorent)
seen it. good stuff man. good stuff. we have proven through history that we as a people are unable to regulate the people that create the money, that is why every society with any kind of monetary system or value system has failed, because the system itself is corrupt from its inception. the only way it might work is if we vote on every dollar produced and it is public knowledge where all the money is, we got rid of interest, taxes, and only used the money we create without generating any debt. salary caps for every occupation. blah blah blah all that good stuff. but that will never happen. so we have to do what we can which is turn our backs on the entire monetary system worldwide. and every corrupt and useless companies will crash and solve every problem being protested forcing the people to create local democracies to govern themselves and ultimately a world democracy is neccessary to organize intercontinetal travel, trade agreements, distribution of goods, things like that.
