You must first realize that the Federal Reserve is neither Federal nor a Reserve. It is a cartel of privately owned banks. Since its inception it has caused the dollar to decrease in value by 96%. It causes inflation with every dollar it prints. These new dollars increase the money supply and as they are created from debt they offer no new value on their own. This in turn decreases the value of your money and causes the cost of living to go up. This is the hidden tax my friends. The bailouts are funded by money printed by the Fed. You know they had no money on hand to fund the Bailouts. Inflation comes next. You hear about elected officials speaking of controlling inflation from time to time? All they have to do is End the Fed and create money backed by gold or silver as JFK tried to do and did do for a limited time until he was murdered.
With that said I offer the following Quotes from a few men from our history.
“All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arise, not from defects in their Constitution or Confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from the downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation.” - John Adams.
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks...will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered...The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." - Thomas Jefferson
"History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and its issuance." - James Madison
"The bold efforts that the present bank has made to control the government, the distress it has wantonly caused, are but premonitions of the fate which awaits the American people should they be deluded into a perpetuation of this institution. If the people only understood the rank injustice of the money and banking system there would be a revolution before morning. You are a den of vipers and thieves…If Congress has the right under the Constitution to issue paper money, it was given them to use themselves, not to be delegated to individuals or corporations." - Andrew Jackson
"The money power preys upon the nation in times of peace and conspires against it in times of war. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all that even question its methods or throw light upon its crimes. I have two great enemies: the Southern Army in front of me and the financial institutions at the rear. The latter is my greatest foe." - Abraham Lincoln
"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people, until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the republic destroyed...The government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of consumers. By the adaptation of these principles the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be the master and become the servant of humanity." - Abraham Lincoln
