“I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principles of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale”
~ Thomas Jefferson (American 3rd US President (1801-09). Author of the Declaration of Independence. 1762-1826)
“There's a way of transferring funds that is even faster than electronic banking. It's called marriage.”
“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” ~ Henry Ford (American industrialist and pioneer of the assembly-line production method, 1863-1947)
“I saw a bank that said "24 Hour Banking", but I don't have that much time” ~ Stephen Wright (American Actor and Writer, b.1955)
“The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight-of-hand that was ever invented. Banking was conceived in inequity and born in sin... But if you want to continue to be slaves of the bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let the bankers continue to create money and control credit .” ~ Josiah Charles Stamp (English Economist President of the Bank of England in the 1920's and the 2nd richest man in Great Britain, 1880-1941)
“Banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies.” ~ Thomas Jefferson (American 3rd US President (1801-09). Author of the Declaration of Independence. 1762-1826)
“There have been three great inventions since the beginning of time: fire, the wheel, and central banking” ~ Will Rogers (American entertainer, famous for his pithy and homespun humour, 1879-1935)
“In central banking as in diplomacy, style, conservative tailoring, and an easy association with the affluent count greatly and results far much less” ~ John Kenneth Galbraith
“The trouble with being educated is that it takes a long time; it uses up the better part of your life and when you are finished what you know is that you would have benefited more by going into banking.” ~ Philip K. Dick (American Writer, 1928-1982)
“John D. Rockefeller wanted to dominate oil, but Microsoft wants it all, you name it: cable, media, banking, car dealerships.”
“It is not by augmenting the capital of the country, but by rendering a greater part of that capital active and productive than would otherwise be so, that the most judicious operations of banking can increase the industry of the country” ~ Adam Smith (Scottish philosopher and economist, 1723-1790)
“I am sure I will feel at home in the Bahamas. I've been involved in gambling in the Bahamas. I've been involved in gambling in Nevada and I've been involved in banking.” ~ Chic Hecht (American Ambassador (Bahamas), b.1928)
On their wedding night, the young bride approached her new husband and asked for $20.00 for their first lovemaking encounter. In his highly aroused state, her husband readily agreed. This scenario was repeated each time they made love, for more than 30 years, with him thinking that it was a cute way for her to afford new clothes and other incidentals that she needed.
Arriving home around noon one day, she was surprised to find her husband in a very drunken state. During the next few minutes, he explained that his employer was going through a process of corporate downsizing, and he had been let go. It was unlikely that, at the age of 59, he’d be able to find another position that paid anywhere near what he been earning, and therefore, they were financially ruined.
Calmly, his wife handed him a bank book which showed more than thirty years of steady deposits and interest totaling nearly $1 million. Then she showed him certificates of deposits issued by the bank which were worth over $2 million, and informed him that they were one of the largest depositors in the bank.
She explained that for the more than three decades she had ‘charged’ him for sex, these holdings had multiplied and these were the results of her savings and investments.
Faced with evidence of cash and investments worth over $3 million, her husband was so astounded he could barely speak, but finally he found his voice and blurted out, “If I’d had any idea what you were doing, I would have given you all my business!”
That’s when she shot him.

“He’s from Hawaii,” Floyd said. “Every athlete from Hawaii thinks he should be recruited by the Pac-10. The President wasn’t good enough, but he should let go of his anger. He needs to move past it.”
