"The two enemies of the people are criminals and the government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first." - NOT THOMAS JEFFERSON
Edited because I was DUPED! DUPED I tell you!

3. Oh, Dammit.

You always do this to me. Even if it is Bogus, is it not the truth though? I edited my OP to reflect this.

5. Fact-checking is...

your friend.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

6. It was a quote. I didn't think it warranted fact checking...

And should I do it, when I know you will do it for me? LOL JK

7. Because there are a lot of bogus quotes out there and...

and most of them have been marshalled for RW causes.

2. I hope that includes corporate criminals - because I don't see

government as the problem. Corporations (who own and control the government) are the problem. When government is controlled by THE PEOPLE -it works. When it isn't, it does not work. Right now, it isn't. AT ALL.

Corporations are and always have been the robber barons - legal criminal entities. Not that they have to be - but they are allowed to be.

4. Exactly what I was eluding to!

You got me.

8. However, this quote is real;

"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance 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 their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."

11. Actually, no it's...

not and is cited in a lot of anti-Federal Reserve propaganda.

15. YellowRubberDuckie is right. Some one did say it. I know.

How do I know, I just read it. If it can be attributed to no one else then we will have to attribute it to YellowRubberDuckie.

Don't get invited to very many parties, do you?
