Forum Post: PLEASE read this quote from Thomas Jefferson

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered...I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

He had it right some 230+ years ago! This is THE root of our problem, folks. The "tapeworm" of our society creates money out of thin air, "loans" it to you and me, and takes a lien on our property. The signature on the promissory note - that promise to pay - is turned into money by the banks.

Did you ever wonder why you have to sign after a credit card sale? That "money" was just created on the spot - created by your signature - created by a bank that did not have it before your signature was penned - and now they get to charge you interest on it.

Hey, sounds like a pretty good racket - how do I get into that kind of "business"?
