"Always remember the difference between economic power and political power: You can refuse to hire someone's services or buy his products in the private sector and go somewhere else instead. In the public sector, though, if you refuse to accept a politician's or bureaucrat's product or services you go to jail. Ultimately, after all, all regulations are observed and all taxes are paid at gunpoint. I believe those few who can't even see that have been short-sighted sheep, and I suggest they learn how to think conceptually, develop consistency and grasp principles soon.Selfishness vs."Selfishness"

    This was the concept behind government bonds -- people could invest in them (i.e. loan the government money) if they believed in the government's causes. If not, they wouldn't.

    Now all our money is backed by government bonds -- we have no choice but to trade our labors and goods for them, and the government has no check against issuing more bonds than can be repaid without borrowing more. Thus massive inflation -- US purchasing power has been lost by 99% since the Federal Reserve was chartered in 1913. The transfer of the nation's wealth and labors to the central bank has been MASSIVE! It's unconscionable.
