Forum Post: To seperate the money from the interest groups and Congress the solution is easier than you think

Marxists, and anti-govt alike, we don't need to redistribute the wealth, or any other extreme measures.

We simply need to end the FED.

Before you say 'No way, another damn EtF idiot, OP doesn't know what he is talking about...'

Please hear me out, you owe me that. I heard you out before, now its your turn.

Forcing redistribution, or re-assembling the govt top down is just unnecessary.

A simple analogy is like imagining the United States is a car. Imagine the best car the world has ever seen. The original engineers made it such that it got great mileage, ran forever with almost no maintenance, and had room for 307 million+. It ran great for years.

Then, one day, when we were having trouble driving up a particularly steep hill (after the panic of 1907), someone on the executive team (Elected officials) suddenly got the bright idea to override the original engineers design plans; 'Hey, wouldn't it be great if we strapped a rocket engine onto this car, that would get us going for sure!'

And so the Fed was born, adding a third central bank when there were only two before, to supercharge the economy and get it going again. It was a very small engine at the time.

As the years passed and this or that happened (normal things like steep hills or a temporary stalled engine) that rocket was made a little bit bigger, given a little more fuel...

By the time we get to 1980's this is getting to be a big rocket. By the 90's it is pushing us so fast now that every time we start it up, we crash every few years. Each crash is explained away by saying well we need more power to get going again, faster this time, to overcome our last crash.

And now we have recently had some big crashes, several right in a row, the biggest we have ever seen.

Now, the engineers keep saying all we need to do is remove the damn engine which the car wasn't designed for in the first place, and it will get us back on track.

Some others are saying this car is a piece of shit, look how many wrecks its had already, we need a new car. Can't blame them for thinking that...

And yet still, the executive team keeps screaming 'NO, WE JUST NEED A BIGGER ENGINE AND MORE FUEL! Let me try the wheel! The last guy was a bad driver!'

This is where we are at.

You have a choice now, which team are you on? Which one sounds like the right direction to take.

Please, no matter what group you fall in to, end the Fed... We can't handle another crash, and they are already revving up the engine.
