| 87. Why do you wish to salvage a system that is designed to fail in it's established purpose, |
|
and that is specifically designed to benefit it's owners at the expense of it's captive participants?
The poor, one of which I am, BTW, have little to nothing to do with the financial system except in how much it forces us to pay for access to what little currency we do have.
You are simply wrong in your assumption that when our financial system implodes, it will matter to us at all. It seems that you, like the other person that replied to you, have confused the financial system with the social and governmental systems.
Article 1 section 8 of the constitution places the power of controlling the national currency in the hands of Congress not the private banking system. It is the private banking system that is imploding. It is the private banking system that is taking a third of our product as payment for it's "services" while simultaneously failing to provide those services.
They need us to exist, we do not need them at all. On the whole, we are far better off without them.
