I have and the founding fathers even knew what would happen if this happened. I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous than standing armies… if the American People ever allow Private Banks to control the issue of currency… The banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of their property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. Thomas Jefferson
In that case, my quote applies. The reason we are in this situation today is because, simply put, rich people have far too much influence on our governments, and on our society as a whole. Libertarianism is basically throwing gasoline on a fire, in the hopes to put it out.
Yup. So let's just go by what people who lived 230 years ago said and apply it to the modern say. The founding fathers were not gods. They were just popular patriots.
So that means that you would throw away every thing Sun Tzu said, or what Jesus said. I'm just giving prime examples.
Jesus was not a prophet, he was an ordinary human being. The basic rules of warfare still apply. Because war, war never changes. Referring to a person who lived 230 years ago on why your viewpoint on economics is right is like me referring to some owner of a factory who believes his workers should work 12 hours a day 7 days a week in terrible working conditions on $1.50 a day.
Edit if you want to say more but you are the last person to post. Do not post twice in a row without anyone posting in between. This goes for every section of the forums.
Would you like to work 12 hours a day 7 days a week getting paid only 21.50 a day? If someone today is on minimum wage working 12 hours a day, they make 4-5 times that amount.
Even if Jesus was not a "prophet" he still caused one of the most influential religions in the world. Even Christians don't believe he was a prophet. We believe he is more than that.
Sly I never base my economics around Thomas Jefferson I was just threw him into the Fray of things. Also The only reason of that People get paid 4-5 times more is because of UNIONS,AND LABOR LAWS, nothing to do with the FED. I was only saying that the money back then before the FED and now how the inflation and stuff that has risen due to the FED.
... If there is nobody who is able to control inflation, then inflation rises, and rises and rises...
There not controling Inflation there having it rise. If I was to control it I wouldn't have it, but scence every dollar bill they make there is a debt behind that dollar. So they inflation and other bullcrap they make up help cover a lil bit up of what massive debt they made.
They are the ones that regulate inflation. If you have nobody to regulate and control inflation, then inflation will rise dramatically. Just because the Federal Reserve disappears, does not mean everything it is assigned to disappears with it.
And see thats where we set down and look at it, there are ups for the FED and there are downs about it. Well there always stuff like that for everything.
