I agree with you whole heartedly. The game has been rigged since 1913 and we've been getting shafted ever since Lady Liberty was taken off our coinage. I hope I live long enough to see the people take back control of our republic for the benefit of the citizens and not the corporate elite.....
I will disagree on the 1913 perception. Certainly since 2008.

The USA needed the insurance of a Federal Reserve to become the largest and most important economy in the world. Other wise the US would have been left to the vagaries of the economic fates. That would simply not do as it would not inspire confidence. For an up an comer as was the USA during the 19Th century it would do.

Also during most of the 20Th century that insurance policy was not called on to any great extent. Only after 08 was it called into the breech and then it saved our bacon. So the FED gets a pass from me. Somebody has to be the adult in the room.
