The Federal Reserve is a cartel of private bankers. I repeat, they are a private bank. They, together with their counterparts (cental banks) around the world, are running the domestic and foreign policies of their respective countries.
The Constitution clearly dictates that the money of the United States of America will be issued by the government and will be in the form of gold and silver coinage. Paper currency was brought into existence to make it easier to transact business. But the currency was merely a receipt for the real money. You could walk into any bank and exchange the currency, the receipt, for the real money, the gold.
What the Federal Reserve has done is take over the printing of the paper receipts. Their scam has been to convince Americans that the receipts are the real money. The bankers and the government have colluded to take the people's gold and given us worthless paper in return. The paper is backed by absolutely nothing. This is counterfeiting, pure and simple. If we did what the Federal Reserve does every day of the year, we'd spend a good portion of our future in the slammer.
No paper currency has ever survived. And when you destroy a country's currency, you take the country down with it.
By creating billions of dollars out of thin air in order to bail out their buddies in the banking system, the Federal Reserve is assuring a massive inflation which is the most evil tax of all because it penalizes those who try to save and live prudently while enriching the bankers and enslaving the citizenry.
When the candidates for president talk about the need for change, let someone ask them whether they will lead a movement to abolish the Federal Reserve. Without bringing about that very fundamental change first, all other change will never happen. The system will go on as it has in the past as a conspiratorial form of capitalism between our government and the bankers.
