And our money supply was put into the hands of private entity's. I will provide you with two haunting quotes to mark this occasion.
Mayer Amschel Rothschild
"Give me control of a nation's money
and I care not who makes the laws."
Thomas Jefferson:
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and the 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 issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. The modern theory of the perpetuation of debt has drenched the earth with blood, and crushed its inhabitants under burdens ever accumulating."
