“The first task of the Federal Reserve system would be to finance the World War. The European nations were already bankrupt, because they had maintained large standing armies for almost fifty years, a situation created by their own central banks, and therefore they could not finance a war. A central bank always imposes a tremendous burden on the nation for "rearmament" and "defense", in order to create inextinguishable debt, simultaneously creating a military dictatorship and enslaving the people to pay the "interest" on the debt which the bankers have artificially created.” PeopleWorldYearsFirstsWarWould BeOrderNationsInterestPaySituationMilitaryCreatingStandingTasksArmyBurdenDebtDefenseFinanceWar Of The WorldsFiftyDictatorshipReservesBankersFederal ReserveCentral Banks Author:Eustace Mullins

“High tax rates in the upper income brackets allow politicians to win votes with class warfare rhetoric, painting their opponents as defenders of the rich. Meanwhile, the same politicians can win donations from the rich by creating tax loopholes that can keep the rich from actually paying those higher tax rates - or perhaps any taxes at all. What is worse than class warfare is phony class warfare. Slippery talk about 'fairness' is at the heart of this fraud by politicians seeking to squander more of the nation's resources.” HeartWinningNationsClassRichPaintingHigherPoliticianTaxesCreatingResourcesVoteRateSeekingIncomeOpponentsFraudFairnessWarfareRhetoricDefendersPhonySlipperyDonationClass WarfareLoopholesBracketsHigh Taxes Author:Thomas Sowell
