Rep. Thomas Massie just reintroduced the “End the Fed” bill to abolish the Federal Reserve.
(Excerpt) Read more at x.com ...
No income tax and No Federal Reserve yet America thrived and became the richest nation in the world. A truly gilded age and an industrial revolution.
How about that....
Great photo.
... and average literacy and math abilities far surpassed the ‘graduates’ of modern Federal education factories.
... and criminals hung
And the US population was about 80 Million, so larger than I was expecting.
Until we invent time machines, we all have to live in the age to which we were born, though. It’s easy to see nostalgia in a bygone era, too. They had yet to have our last two World Wars, the Spanish Flu, the Great Depression, FDR and a whole host of problems, too.
Have you ever seen the 8th grade test from back then? Can you imagine a test like this today for 8th graders? The left would be rioting........

What hypocrisy that the Federal Government appears to follow no rules of accounting when handling money.

Why should they follow rules? It’s your freaking money, not theirs.
Yes, thank you.
We owe McGuffey much credit for our early high literacy.
William Holmes McGuffey (1800-1873), An American educator, was the president of Ohio University, professor at the University of Virginia and the department chairman at the Miami University of Ohio. He was responsible for forming the first teachers’ association in that part of the nation.
Considered the “Schoolmaster of the Nation,” McGuffey published the first edition of his McGuffey’s Reader in 1836. This was the mainstay in public education in America till 1920. As of 1963, 125 million copies had been sold, making it one of the most widely used and influential textbooks of all times. Millions of American children learned to read and write from that reader

Thrived?
Pick up a history book....many, many people lived like animals.
Our military wasn’t close to the global power it is now.
AND SS didn’t exist..which swallows WAY MORE than it takes in.
Stop policing the world completely, stop paying SS...it was never put in a seperate account, that’s a lie....shut down NASA, NORAD and a billion other things we like but didn’t have in 1913.
You forget about having half a country to SELL to pay for things during the 1800s also...no, MORE than half a country.
Dreamers.
In 1913, they had one book. In 1957, we had a book for each subject.

It’s no coincidence that the income tax and Federal Reserve were implemented immediately after the last of the contiguous 48 states became part of the U.S. The growth model for a developed society is much different than it is for one that still has a frontier.
Agreed!
The dam@ed income tax is terrible depressant on USA
It simply needs to be abolished
And replaced by something much simpler, easier, fairer, far less burdensome, lower much lower in amount, and free of abuse by those in power
Between fed and states taking a third of a worker’s income is outrageous no matter how the corruptoids do it.

End the Fed!
That’s what I’m talking about.
Count me as on board the defund train.
Before 1913 we had no entitlement programs. Today the bulk of the federal budget is income transfer payments.
So it would be simple to get most of the way back to the pre-1913 night watchman state. Begin by abolishing Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, etc.
We had much nicer architecture, too!
Maybe that is why Trump wants to annex Canada for a new frontier.... Just saying'. ;)
BTTT
Also, repeal the 16th and 17th amendments, end NATO, and the UN.
