give a man a gun he can rob a bank, give a man a bank he can rob the world.
banks steal homes and property every day. they have the power to manipulate interest rates and trade markets. they spend billions on mass advertising, neuroscientist design much of the advertising, they can actually make triple the money working for an ad company than a college researching brain cancer or Alzheimer's. many of these predatory loans start out at 500/600 a month and in 5 years can go up to 1500/2500. most the homeowners have no idea how the interest works because it was never properly explained to them. 75 years back they had interest rates like this, they were called loan sharks and were ran by organized crime. in the end the home owner looses everything and the bank gets all the money they payed, plus the house and they package the loan together with many others as CDOs and sell them to other banks, they sell these CDOs back and forth until they eventually get bailed out by the government.
they do similar schemes on farmers to steal their farmland.
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies," Jefferson wrote. " If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around(these banks) will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
Thomas Jefferson
