We print it.~ Art Rolnick The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government of the U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson. History depicts Andrew Jackson as the last truly honorable and incorruptible American president.~ Franklin D. Roosevelt Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes the laws.~ Mayer Amschel Rothschild Either the application for renewal of the charter (for the First Bank of the United States) is granted, or the United States will find itself involved in a most disastrous war.~ Baron Nathan Mayer Rothschild I can't remember the exact quote but when I used to trade and Mr. Volcker was Fed chairman, he said something like 'gold is my enemy, I'm always watching what gold is doing', we need to think why he made a statement like that. If you're a central banker or one of the congressmen or senators, watch what gold is doing because this is a no-confidence vote in fiscal and dollar policy.~ Rick Santelli About all a Federal Reserve note can legally do is wipe out one debt and replace it with itself another debt, a note that promises nothing. If anything's been paid, the payment occurs only in the minds of the parties...~ Tupper Saussy The few who could understand the system will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favours, that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of the people mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.~ John Sherman I have sat on many a promotion panel where the first question of panel members was 'How many seizures have you made?'~ Joseph R. Smith And the men who loan money to governments, so called, for the purpose of enabling the latter to rob, enslave, and murder their people, are among the greatest villains that the world has ever seen. And they as much deserve to be hunted and killed (if they cannot otherwise be got rid of) as any slave traders, robbers, or pirates that ever lived.~ Lysander Spooner [T]he only security men can have for their political liberty, consists in keeping their money in their own pockets ...~ Lysander Spooner Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of Bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits.~ Sir Josiah Stamp I think the inherent right of the government to lie to save itself when faced with nuclear disaster is basic -- basic.~ Arthur Sylvester It is said, mostly by Libertarians, that ‘taxation is theft.’ Theft is too mild a word.

I say it is time to replace the progressive income tax with a national retail sales tax, and it is time to abolish the IRS, my colleagues. I yield back all the rules, regulations, fear, and intimidation of our current system.~ James A. Traficant, Jr. A banker is a fellow who lends you his umbrella when the sun is shining and wants it back the minute it begins to rain.~ Mark Twain No state shall emit bills of credit, make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts, coin money...~ United States Constitution No State shall... coin money; emit bills of credit; make any thing but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts...~ United States Constitution To lay with one hand the power of the government on the property of the citizen, and with the other to bestow it upon favored individuals to aid private enterprises and build up private fortunes, is nonetheless a robbery because it is done under the forms of law and is called taxation. This is not legislation. It is a decree under legislative forms.~ United States Supreme Court Because of what appears to be a lawful command on the surface, many Citizens, because of their respect for what appears to be law, are cunningly coerced into waiving their rights due to ignorance.~ United States Supreme Court Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
