The modern implement of imposing slavery is debt.~ Ezra Pound Sep 1, 2015That this House considers that the continued issue of all the means of exchange -- be they coin, bank-notes or credit, largely passed on by cheques -- by private firms as an interest-bearing debt against the public should cease forthwith; that the Sovereign power and duty of issuing money in all forms should be returned to the Crown, then to be put into circulation free of all debt and interest obligations...~ Captain Henry KerbyThe chief duty of the National Government in connection with the currency of the country is to coin money and declare its value.

You will in due season have wars entered into from passion and not from reason; and you will in due season submit to peace ignominiously sought and ignominiously obtained, which will diminish your authority and perhaps endanger your independence. You will in due season find your property is less valueable, and your freedom less complete.~ Benjamin Disraeli Aug 28, 2015Don't let your mouth write no check that your tail can't cash.~ Bo DiddleyThe rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.~ ProverbsA billion here, a billion there, sooner or later it adds up to real money.~ Everett Dirksen Aug 27, 2015Governments last as long as the undertaxed can defend themselves against the overtaxed.~ Bernard BerensonCollecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery.~ Calvin CoolidgeIf we could manage our own finances the way the Congress does the nation’s, we’d all be living in high cotton and eating high on the hog.~ Charley Reese Previous week's quotes Next week's quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
