The World's Bank Vol. XXV (Doubleday, Page, & Company, New York, 1913) p. 631.A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit.

Thomas Paine

Thomas Paine, Common Sense (R. Bell, Philadelphia, 1776) p. 48.Youth is the seed time of good habits, as well in nations as in individuals. It might be difficult, if not impossible, to form the Continent into one government half a century hence…The more men have to lose the less willing are they to venture. The rich are in general slaves to fear, and submit to courtly power with the trembling duplicity of a spaniel.

Bob Wallace, Morris Fishbein - AMA Enemy Of American Health, (2002). http://www.angelhealingcenter.com/AMA.htmThe cure for these problems? Remove the state backing from the AMA and FDA, and unleash the power and creativity of the free market. Many people have been brainwashed into thinking the state protects them. The truth is the exact opposite.

William J. H. Boetcker

William J. H Boetcker, The Ten Cannots (1916)You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot help the wage earner by pulling down the wage payer. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you earn. You cannot build character and courage by taking away man’s initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves. -

Edward F. Mrkvicka, Jr., Your Bank is Ripping You Off (St. Martin's Griffin; Revised edition, 1999) p. 9.If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.

Written in a letter to Thomas Jefferson in 1787.All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America rise, not from defects in the Constitution or Confederation, not from want of honor or virtue, so much as from downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit, and circulation.
