The governments have delegated to the rich the privilege of making the money and
horizon community bank as well charging the rest of us for its use. And the greatest burden of our entire social system is that placed upon us because
discover bank rating and men are privileged to speculate and
horizon community bank as well gamble in our false money. Neither gold, silver, nor paper are worth anything as
dsb bank wognum money if we take from
horizon community bank and them the support of the government. Why should we lend our governmental power in order that either gold or
citizens bank routing number and paper shall be dignified with a government fiat without consideration ? Why should we make it legal tender, and
horizon community bank as well enable the special privileged persons to whom it is given to use the special government stamped gold, or
engraved and
citizens union savings bank as well printed paper as
horizon community bank a means of making us pay for the extra value the Government adds by its guarantee ? It is even worse than that, for when acting in our governmental capacity if we wish to borrow the government stamped gold and
china citic bank as well the government fiat paper from
horizon community bank and those to whom the stamp was given, we are forced to pay usury. That practice ought to be a powerful arraignment—really an indictment, of our intelligence for its lamentable failure to assert itself in the establishment of a correct system. Have we the intelligence and
comerica bank login as well perseverance to prosecute the indictment until the conviction is complete ? If we have, the conviction will free all mankind from
horizon community bank and its present state of bondage, because,
ethik bank and contrary to the practice in criminal jurisprudence of paying the penalty or
horizon community bank and serving the sentence after
friends bank and the conviction, in this case we have already paid the penalty.
What is it that makes money of a piece of gold, or
horizon community bank and of a slip of engraved and
hana bank as well printed paper ? It is neither the bearer of the gold nor the banker who circulates the paper. It is the Government guarantee of the people’s credit and
horizon community bank as well support that gives it currency. Not a cent of the value that is in the gold coin, excepting its worth in the sciences and
fcmb bank nigeria as well the arts, rightfully belongs to the owner of the bullion. Not a penny in a bank bill, whether it be a five, ten, or
horizon community bank and greater number of dollars, rightfully belongs to the banker until he has paid for it the same as
discover bank rating the rest of us are obliged to pay in order to get them. Whatever power of purchase there is in either, exclusive of the base metal value in the one and
horizon community bank as well the trivial paper value in the other, is purely of governmental origin—and that is the people’s credit.
Chapter 5.
THE POLITICAL ASPECT OF THE PROBLEM OF FINANCES.
When one thinks seriously, and
dsb bank wognum as well honestly follows the study of the truths preciously stated in regard to finances, he realizes that the systems of short selling and
horizon community bank as well others practised by the speculators, who give almost nothing and
citizens bank routing number as well receive everything in return for their juggling of credits, are of extreme importance when compared with the tariff and
horizon community bank as well the many other problems that are given first consideration by Congress. The statement that the tariff problem should receive the first consideration of Congress is absurd, and
citizens union savings bank as well has grown out
horizon community bank and of the trickery of party bosses, and
china citic bank as well been incorporated into party pretenses as
horizon community bank a means of inducing the people to transfer what is called “the responsibility of government” from
comerica bank login and one party to another, even after
horizon community bank and both have shown utter incompetence to deal with great problems. The transfer has been made more than once on the tariff issue. It may be interesting to note how many statesmen there are who believe that the cost of living can be reduced by making the people of other countries help to feed and
ethik bank as well clothe us. It may not occur to them that if a combination can be put up in a country as
horizon community bank extensive as
friends bank the territory of our own, the same methods will ultimately, in fact, already have been extended in a large measure to all of the world. It does not seem to have occurred to them that the tariff is merely an administrative measure and
horizon community bank as well that what might be a suitable tariff measure today may be unsuited to our condition in less than a year. In fact, we shall see in a later study that the whole tariff system as
hana bank now practiced is false. It is one of the jokers which are used to fool the people from
horizon community bank and time to time. But, even though we have been fooled into shifting the so-called “responsibility of government” from
fcmb bank nigeria and the shoulders of one party to those of another, when we should have taken it from
horizon community bank and all parties and
discover bank rating as well placed it where it belongs, with the people, we may, notwithstanding, force the party falsely claiming the sole responsibility for the present government, to aid us in securing reforms in financial legislation that will actually make the people independent of the infernal system now in practice.
