Tom Hayden at the Democracy Convention 2011

[oheff3]

Real democracy will also include the recognition that money is nothing but a tool that is a public tool which is called into existence by the amount and variety of the activity of the people themselves. As such the money franchise cannot be called democratic if we use a monetary system imposed or controlled by a private cartel called bankers whose creation of money in the form of Debt is actually making us their indentured servants.

How can the democracy effort ever succeed if the focus does not also include the money franchise and the fact that maintenance of inequallity will remain so long as the very creation of money is in the hands of a small elite group? All the bad behavior called out by this speaker, while true and historically accurate, has not been put into the context of the monetary system being used.
