Thomas Jefferson who said "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 them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered"

The American people have been betrayed by our so called leaders. We have a byzantine legal system whereby only the 1% that can afford to pay an expensive lawyer can even get legal representation that is competent. I have to ask questions online to get pathetic free legal advice

The banks create money out of thin air and lend it to the American people at an interest rate. This is crazy. No wonder our children are saddled with student loan debt which now tops 1 Trillion dollars and home-owners are buried in mortgage debt. that is upside down compared to the value of their homes.
