“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation, and then by deflation, the banks and the corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their father's conquered ... I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies ... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the Government, to whom it properly belongs.”

A lot of our history would be different if people had listen to Jefferson back then. Why the unconstitutionality of the Fed, SEC, and other domestic and international groups hasn't been of much concern, isn't all that perplexing. The people who have the power to manipulate the currencies of this country and others, refuse to release their grip. Look at the guy who was testifying against Madoff today. He knew the truth but, feared for his and his family's life because of Madoff's connections with SEC higher ups. Perfect example.

That quote from Jefferson always reminds me of the biblical story of Joseph and his grain tax.
