I feel the reason behind most of our troubles and the need for TEA Parties is the government’s ability to print up whatever money it wants to manipulate us.

Maybe this will help make the danger of fiat money clear.

Imagine you and me are setting across from each other. We create enough money to represent all of the world’s wealth. Each one of us has one SUPER Dollar in front of him.

You own half of everything and so do I.

I’m the government though. I get bribed into creating a Central Bank.

You’re not doing what I want you to be doing so I print up myself eight more SUPER Dollars to manipulate you with.

All of a sudden your SUPER Dollar only represents one tenth of the wealth of the world!

That isn’t the only thing though. You need to get busy and get to work because YOU’VE BEEN STIFFED with the bill for the money I PRINTED UP to get YOU TO DO what I WANTED.

That to me represents what has been happening to the economy, and us, and why so many of our occupations just can’t keep up with the fake money presses.

They have been beating us with our own stick!!!!!

This should give a new twist to the term "Moonbats". Now who's a moonbat?

If you want to have some fun google Bush family and the Unification Church.

Thanks for the cogent comment, StokeyBob. I really appreciated that.

(99 appreciates it, even as it's a completely and utterly off-topic comment. But hey, that happens around here from time to time Thanks for staying on point, Ms. Kitty!)

Sssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........about the Moonies owning the oft-quoted-by-conservatives Washington Times, you wouldn't want that known to a lot of people.............

Ssssshhhh about American small "c" "sold their souls" christian organizations and the "corporate bought and paid for" GOP; electing a rich American religious cultist as their future presidential candidate (who though was silent for the last 8 yrs of the Bush administration about Afghanistan policy; was this week hypocritical enough and shallow enough to use our military men and women as fodder for his self serving oppurtunistic impending campaign).

As was stated in this article (good point!), what if it was a liberal newspaper that was owned by a cult? Can anyone answer WHY that wouldn't fly? Answer: because the right owns ALL the corporate media, and their game is to still cry that it's "liberal". Genius! It worked! They have to keep calling it "liberal" or the plan wouldn't work, think about it.

You did know about rev. Sun Myung Moon coronation at the Dirksen Senate Office Building in the Capitol didn't you?
