Liberty Quotes - Daily Email History

"American money was never more sound, or banking more free, than 200 years ago. Since then, it’s been a long steady decline from the gold standard and competitive banking to our Fed-run system of inflated paper currency, deposit insurance, and perpetually shaky banks on the dole."

~ Lew Rockwell  

"It was not accidental [the 1929 stock-market “crash”].
It was a carefully contrived occurrence. ...
The international bankers sought to bring about a condition
of despair here so that they might emerge as rulers of us all."

~ Louis McFadden  

"Are you entitled to the fruits of your labor
or does government have some presumptive right
to spend and spend and spend?"

~ Ronald Reagan  

"We are in danger of being overwhelmed with irredeemable paper,
mere paper, representing not gold nor silver;
no sir, representing nothing but broken promises, bad faith,
bankrupt corporations, cheated creditors and a ruined people."

~ Daniel Webster  

"Capitalism should not be condemned, since we haven’t had capitalism. A system of capitalism presumes sound money, not fiat money manipulated by a central bank. Capitalism cherishes voluntary contracts and interest rates that are determined by savings, not credit creation by a central bank. It’s not capitalism when the system is plagued with incomprehensible rules regarding mergers, acquisitions, and stock sales, along with wage controls, price controls, protectionism, corporate subsidies, international management of trade, complex and punishing corporate taxes, privileged government contracts to the military-industrial complex, and a foreign policy controlled by corporate interests and overseas investments. Add to this centralized federal mismanagement of farming, education, medicine, insurance, banking and welfare. This is not capitalism!"

~ Dr. Ron Paul  

"Those who create and issue money and credit
direct the policies of government and
hold in the hollow of their hands
the destiny of the people."

~ Reginald McKenna  

~ Carroll Quigley (False)  

"In 1883, a small group of Socialists met in London, announcing their intentions of converting the British economic system from capitalism to socialism. This group chose the name 'Fabian Society.' One of the leading members of the Fabian Society, author George Bernard Shaw, perhaps summed it up best when he said, quote: '... Socialism means equality of income or nothing... under socialism you would not be allowed to be poor. You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you like it or not. If it were discovered that you had not character enough to be worth all this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner; but whilst you were permitted to live you would have to live well.' "

~ Edgar Wallace Robinson  

"Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder."

~ George Washington  

"We can't constantly explain to our voters that
taxpayers have to be on the hook for certain risks,
rather than those who make a lot of money taking those risks."

~ Angela Merkel  

~ Benito Mussolini  

~ Curtis Dall  

"It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer,
or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their
regard to their own interest."

~ Adam Smith  

"There are two methods, or means, and only two, whereby man's needs and desires can be satisfied. One is the production and exchange of wealth; this is the economic means. The other is the uncompensated appropriation of wealth produced by others; this is the political means."

~ Albert Jay Nock
