Banking Institutions vs. Armies
Look at the below quote and state whether you AGREE or DISAGREE:
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a moneyed aristocracy that has set the Government at defiance. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs."
-- Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), US Founding Father, drafted the Declaration of Independence, 3rd US President
I can agree to this statement. I believe that the banks and the people who run the money are the true power in the United States. It was Alan Greenspan now it this other guy (I do not remember his name) and he is the one who can cause us to be a great nation or a very poor nation. That is more power than the US government or the military I think.
