72. "It is good that Americans don't understand their economic or banking systems,

if they did, we would have revolution tomorrow" - Henry Ford 100% of every dollar the IRS collects is paid to a private bank as interest on money they never had to loan. We are about to understand the true cost of our ignorance.

107. "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 . . . 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 -- The Debate Over The Recharter Of The Bank Bill, (1809) "What is the robbing of a bank compared to the FOUNDING of a bank?" Bertolt Brecht
