Yes I am an Independent who heavily leans towards the Libertarian Philosophy. So yes I do agree with Thomas Jefferson and the other founding fathers.

I believe there's a lot of truth to it, but the Federal Reserve is ultimately in charge of currency. Incidentally, the Federal Reserve is, among other things, essentially a large central bank.

We also have a massive standing army these days too...

We only need add the term Industrial Military Complex to it which no other than the Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower, himself coined to warn us that gone unchecked will destroy this Nation of ours.

In his farewell address in January 1961, he warned that:

“In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military‐industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.”

John Smith

That's what the revolutionary war was about, now they snuck back into our country under the Federal Reserve. But they can see their end in sight as Ron Paul is rising and he is going to give them a big kawk slap to the face.

Yes, I agree.

That's what the Wall Street Protestors should be protesting against.

Hmmm. So Thomas Jefferson was an anti-capitalist? Interesting.

His approval rating with me is still 0%.

Anybody who supports states rights does not have my approval.

Abraham Lincoln

Yes I do. I point directly at the Federal Reserve.
