Very Interesting Quote
In light of the present financial crisis, it's interesting to read what Thomas
Jefferson said in 1802:
'I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than
standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control
the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and
corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all
property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers
conquered.'
All of his words were very prophetic. The one about private banks came true when we passed the Federal Reserve Act. That might have been the beginning of the end for our Republic.
