Classic quote
Going through quotes for todays enewsletter i find this one and had to share it!
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. 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 [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 (1743 - 1826), Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802)
How many of us remember the days when we got paid cash for our weeks work, banks cried out for you to open an account, not anymore they have us screwed big time. Now every transaction comes at a cost and they are in total control and nothing governments can do about it except threaten them with idle rhetoric.
