    It's not socialism to have a central banking system. In fact America did have a government run bank prior to 1913 until the privately run Federal Reserve was founded. By putting the control of the nation's money supply in the hands of what is basically a private bank, that private enterprise not only has control over how much people's hard earned money is worth but also over the government as well since the government is basically paying a private bank to use its own money.

I hope these idiots will learn to vote libertarian, for their own sake.
