You and me both!
These are some of the same a@@holes who foisted the unconstitutional Fed upon us. Originally Congress' job that is no longer controlled by anyone but the president's right to appoint the chief. And whose shareholders include foreign banking elites.
Check these excellent links out - you may find them informative, i.e. stuff they decided we didn't need to know in public school, and still do as they sing FDR's & union praises.

RIGHT ON!Corzine used to run that"Den Of Thieves",didn't he?Then he used his ill-gotten gains to "Buy" a Senate seat.Then he used more of same to "Buy"the Governorship of the MOST CORUPT STATE in The Union!!!!!!!!!!!!
