Banks have done more injury to the religion, morality, tranquility, prosperity, and even wealth of the nation than they can have done or ever will do good.

Inflation
Inflation is as violent as a mugger, as frightening as an armed robber, and as deadly as a hitman.
Honest money needed
The whole profit of the issuance of money has provided the capital of
the great banking business as it exists today. Starting with nothing
whatever of their own, they have got the whole world into their debt
irredeemably, by a trick.
The Federal Reserve
Most Americans have no real understanding of the operation of the international money lenders. The accounts of the Federal Reserve System have never been audited. It operates outside of the control of Congress and manipulates the credit of the United States.
Taxation without representation
Inflation is taxation without representation.
Money talks
The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government of the U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson. History depicts Andrew Jackson as the last truly honorable and incorruptible American president.
Usurpation
The truth is the Fed (Federal Reserve Bank) has usurped the government. It controls everything here and it controls all of our foreign relations. It makes and breaks governments at will.
Federal Reserve Act of 1913
This Act establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the President signs this bill, the invisible government by the Monetary Power will be legalized. The people may not know it immediately, but the day of reckoning is only a few years removed. The trusts will soon realize that they have gone too far even for their own good. The people must make a declaration of independence to relieve themselves from the Monetary Power. This they will be able to do by taking control of Congress. Wall Streeters could not cheat us if you Senators and Representatives did not make a humbug of Congress … The greatest crime of Congress is its currency system. The worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking bill. The caucus and the party bosses have again operated and prevented the people from getting the benefit of their own government.
Government does not create wealth
Government does not create resources when it taxes people and prints money; it merely redistributes the wealth.
Central banking
It is no coincidence that the century of total war coincided with the century of central banking.
