Quote from the Past - Fredrich August von Hayek

Comment Up

"With the exception only of the period of the gold standard, practically all governments of history have used their exclusive power to issue money to defraud and plunder the people."

- Fredrich August von Hayek  1976, Nobel laureate economist

Friedrich Hayek wrote these words in a published address called Choice in Currency: A Way to Stop Inflation. In it, Hayek made the argument that the only true way to fight inflation was to keep government honest, and the only way to keep government honest was to take away government’s legal privilege to issue money exclusively.

If only they obeyed the laws as we are expected to do!
Constitution: ARTICLE I Section 8

To coin money, regulate the value thereof and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures;
To provide for the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current coin of the United States;

The Federal Reserve is a Private Bank GREEDY MONOPOLY that charges US interest on the money they create for US out of thin air but PRINT NOTHING EXTRA to PAY OFF the INTEREST on the borrowed money.

Then politicians wonder why the public has lost all respect for them, how communities are run, or policing. It is all a mess now, government stinks. Then you get these idiot politicians knocking at your door asking for you vote and you give them a piece of your mind and they take offense to it. Yet our city is a dump and completely lawless and crime infested. Why does the truth always hurt these lame politicians? They wonder why so many have lost hope in them or our government. They just don't get it!
