In my heart i asked this because i know the contrversy. But If you break it down i feel the people with the money and who controls the money is the one who brings the country down. MONEY=POWER= GREED= DECEIT= VICTIMS and SLAVES TO THE GAME= Devil. \nSo that pretty much answers my own question but i want to hear what you have to say.

Here`s answer for you. The juden control our money. The Fed was set up to scam america out of her gold. Also an example of a FED note.\n\n \nPeter Kershaw shows us who owns the Federal Reserve System of America in "Economic Solutions".\n\nHe lists the ten primary shareholders\nin the Federal Reserve banking system: \n1) The Rothschild Family* - London\n2) The Rothschild Family* - Berlin \n3) The Lazard Brothers - Paris \n4) Israel Seiff* - Italy \n5) Kuhn-Loeb Company* - Germany \n6) The Warburgs* - Amsterdam \n7) The Warburgs* - Hamburg \n8) Lehman Brothers* - New York\n9) Goldman & Sachs* - New York \n10) The Rockefeller Family - New York.\n\nThrough their banks, they control, and/or own outright, most of the Corporations of America, and in the entire world. \n\n A federal Reserve Note. \n\nThe swindle of the system is simple. The Federal Reserve Bank hires the US Treasury to print up some money. The Federal Reserve only actually pays the treasury for the cost of the printing, they do NOT pay $1 for each 1$ printed. But the Federal Reserve turns around and loans out that money (or credit line) to banks at full face value, those banks which have exhausted their deposits then loan that Federal Reserve fiat money to you, and you must repay it in the full dollar value (plus interest) in work product, even though the Federal Reserve printed that money for pennies, or created it out of thin air in a computer.\n\nAs the Federal Reserve overprints more money, the money supply inflates, and too much money starts chasing too few goods and services, which means prices go up. But contrary to the charade put on by the Federal Reserve, inflation doesn't just come and go due to some arcane sorcery. The Federal Reserve can halt inflation any time it wants to by simply shutting down those printing presses. It therefore follows that both inflation and recession are fully under the control of the Federal Reserve.\n\nOver time, that excess of printing has destroyed the value of that dollar you think you have. If you want to know by just how much, go out and try to purchase 371.25 grains of silver right now. Usually, the deterioration is gradual. Sometimes, it has to be obvious, such as the 1985 devaluation (done to halt the trade imbalance) which triggered the Japanese real-estate grab in this country.\n\nMany politicians have attempted to reverse this process. John F. Kennedy issued an Executive Order 11110, requiring the Treasury Department to start printing and issuing silver certificates for the silver then remaining in the US Treasury. \n\nKennedy decided that by returning to the constitution, which states that only Congress shall coin and regulate money, the soaring national debt could be reduced by not paying interest to the bankers of the Federal Reserve System, who print paper money then loan it to the government at interest. This was the reason he signed Executive Order 11110 which called for the issuance of $4,292,893,815 in United States Notes through the U.S. Treasury rather than the traditional Federal Reserve System.

The larger the number of people that can be overpowered by what the leaders dictate, the more power they usurp from their followers. That's just politics. They say only what they think we want to hear, right before elections, but afterwards they continue to ignore the masses, and the issues. \nThe more people they can hold under the poverty level, the more of those held at that level feel powerless, the more power they can gain for themselves, and it becomes a monster. \nNot everyone can win in this game. The less people who believe in the American Dream, the less people there are to oppose them. When people lose hope of realizing their dream, the less likely they are to fight back and make a stand. \nSo eventually, most of those who lose out time after time feel they are owed something, and sometimes the only way to win anything is to take advantage of the system. So the gap between the rich and poor grows.

Of course you're not all evil, however your goverment is elected to represent you, the people. So when your goverment goes around killing people for money it reflects badly on the people they represent.

well there ya go. these ansews say it all. they never saw what you are saying only keywords to take unrelated issue with. no remorese, no responsibility, no compassion & no soul. what they lack in these qualities they make up with ignorance, denial, sadistic creed, psychotic delusions & soulless amusement. no amount of education can produce a mind.\n\ndamn prople, where do you think the money & power comes from for a reletively small group to make all thses 'foriegn policies' & enforce them with military. YOU, your taxes pay for it. your bodies supply the wars.

I really think its about greed - pure and simple.  As things were during the Reagan years, some people matter and some don't .

It all still is determined the distribution of the wealth. Peasants don't have the ability to stand up to their military. Why do you think that there is so many suicide bombings? To those people that are being repressed, they are martyrs, and hero's to their own people. They don't have anything to loose, because they have already lost everything from the start. I am glad I am an American, and that I don't have to live that way.

It is privately owned, for several domestic and international banks, some of the owner's names are Rockefeller does that ring you a bell? they print money backed up by nothing and charge interest to the govmt! we all end up paying for it (40% of our fed income tax) while the rich gets richer, the funny thing is that it is illegal as per our constitution, and we could buy it back at 450 million to abolish it if we wanted too, unfortunately some guys like John Kennedy tried to eliminated and was shot... you can get more details from a CPA here:\n\nhttp://www.totse.com/en/politics/international_banking_money_laundering/fedbank.html

Start a new country. But eventually, even that country will fall victim to the same thing. It's the nature of power. Did you ever hear the saying that power corrupts?

What you are describing is the politics of greed, supply side economics is one of the main factors. Giving tax cuts to the very rich while cutting programs to the poor is a symptom of this greed. \n\n I look at it this way, if you have a pile of three boxes setting on the floor and you want to move them if you lift the top box that is the only one that moves. But on the other hand if you lift the bottom box all three move. \n\nOk, the top box represents the rich and very rich, the middle box represents the middle class and the bottom box represents the poor. Our government, lead by president Bush has lifted the top box and left the other two behind and that is what is wrong with the "me" politics of the repuglican party. It is time for a change starting in November. We need more democrats in the house and senate to provide a check and balance to the politics of greed. \n\n No person or family in the United States legally should be without the necessity's of life. Food, shelter and health care.

NO NO NO NO NO!!  The government haven't got a clue when money is concerned. They've got so much of it themselves, they lose track of the value of it. It should be down to the 'Joe Bloggs' of the country, at least they know how far money stretches and what its like to have to scrimp by.  Why does the government not do what us the public want? Then they would get voted back in time and time again?

This one is practical: you would be gaining money the government cant afford to pay you. You would be claiming to have money that the government doesn't have record of, and that would be a national incident. If you were to buy something with fake money,you would be stealing from the person who is paid with it. When they turn it into the bank and get arrested, it isn't very fun for them.

people operate by the notion that wealth is somehow limited and think that if you have more people then their share of wealth will get smaller.\n\nthis of course couldn't be further away from the truth, anybody who takes the time to think realizes that wealth is being created by people, it can be infinite... \n\nUnfortunately this thought is too complex for many people to comprehend !\n\nI'm only hoping that in a few hundred years people will finally come to this realization!

One word. Greed! It's all about who makes the most money and who has more or the best. It really makes me sick. No one cares about the important things anymore.

It is, but it's not just the Republicans.  There's plenty of blame to go around.   But ya know what's even worse?  Is that the generation that borrowed the money, our generation, will never pay it back.  That chore will fall on our kids and their kids.  We should be ashamed of ourselves.  Quite a legacy to leave our children.

It is not the job of the government to take care of your financial needs. However much I may personally sympathize with someone who cannot work, I reject the notion that the government has a legal, constitutional or moral right to put a gun to my head and take my money to give to other people.\n\nPoliticians and government don't just pull the money out of thin air. They take it from ME. What right do you have to demand I support you?

It's all about $$$.  People only care about what THEY can get from something be it a politician or your average Joe.  Morality has eroded and corruption exploded.
