You moron!
At that time, money was backed by gold, then later silver.. AND MINTED BY THE GOVERNMENT...not contracted to private banks, using vague 'promises' about a portion of interest charged, paying off promissory notes, for the printing of money.. The revenues, that then, funded to government was collected by tariffs, not by 'income taxes' designed to pay for the printing of money, and the interest charged for it!!...with the IRS ensuring that the bankers got paid their interest, even before a dime went for funding the government!!! That's why we have to keep on 'borrowing'..because the 'debt' will NEVER be paid off, as long as they keep printing worthless money, and charging us interest to print it!!
Once again, you re-write history to suit yourself and your nonsensical political notions.

Oh, and by the way, the major holders of all those notes, usually get screwed over, in the long run, if they exert too much pressure, or fear, that they've become, or are becoming too powerful!!

I thought that how the Japanese, got screwed, when they were buying up a lot of our cities, back in the eighties and early nineties, was sheer evil genius. The Saudis are in line, though the Chinese might be more of a problem...Oh, and another 'BTW', the American people are huge holders of T notes....and the screw is bearing down on them as well. They use 'inflation'..just as they did with the Japanese.
It's all a bunch of financial manipulations, designed to line the pockets of the international bankers, as a step to gaining control and power.

Oh, and the IRS is the enforcement arm of the bankers, and THAT'S who you want running Obamacare?????
Get a clue, it's NOT about 'health care'!!

If you don't know this, then do some simple(or not so simple) homework....and you really should keep your illiterate opinions to yourself.....that way people won't find out how really dumb you are!
