John Adams Quote

"Our whole system of banks is a violation of every honest principle of banks. There is no honest bank but a bank of deposit. A bank that issues paper at interest is a pickpocket or a robber. But the delusion will have its course. ... An aristocracy is growing out of them that will be as fatal as the feudal barons if unchecked in time."

To practice usury upon, those of your own, brings about the eventual destruction of your own foundation. The banksters own no more than you think they do. They come to realize, the shakiness, they have created. Thirteen guiding principals. ref: The Rock.  -- Ron w13, Or      1

Right on Mike! And, what a breath of fresh air that we don't have Waffler interjecting with some convoluted and ridiculous statement to countermand your realistic and proven statement in regards to fiat paper money.  -- Mary - MI      1
