They are thieves, and if you know your constitutional rights, we shouldnt even have to pay Taxes and be cheated out of our money and land. So where does the Federal Reserve come in? This central bank has its hands on every aspect of the American economy. What most people do not know is that it is not a bank owned by the government. It is a private bank that controls the printing of American money and sets the interest rates. In fact the federal government gets its money from the Federal Reserve and then pays the reserve interest on its own money! This entire system was fought by presidents since Thomas Jefferson, but the central bank and the control of American’s money supply was signed in to existence by Woodrow Wilson when Congress was on vacation. Wilson later expressed his regret with these words:“I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial country is controlled by a system of credit…The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men…we are (now a government) ruled by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.” “If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that grow up around them will deprive the people of all of their property, until their children will wake up homeless on the continent that their fathers founded.” - Thomas Jefferson“I sincerely believe that the banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs.” -Thomas Jefferson Federal reserve stinks!

The most difficult juggling act is keeping a balance of power amongst Govt,the Corporates and the individual.Real democracy has not happened in western countries for a long time,since those with the most money have the greater say.

There are many now who want to cringe into socialism and let Govt run the show.This will be an even bigger disaster.
