Right On Tom

Thomas Jefferson On Banksters, Yes, In 1802.

BeforeItsNews.Com
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.”
   
    Man,  that Thomas Jefferson was a smart guy.  Here it is 200 years later and his warning has come true!  The banks and corporations of 21st century America are raping the people with the government's blessing no matter which party is in power.  The "hope" Obama sold us has turned to the sickening realization that it's just business as usual in Washington.  Foreclosures, homelessness, unemployment and corruption continue apace while Congress fiddles.  People are fighting so hard just to keep their heads above water they don't have the time or energy to confront the daily assault on their pocketbooks or their rights.  Where it will end or how it turns out in the near future should be up to the people but it really isn't.  Big money rules the day, corporate media clears the way and the peons fall in line.
