    What we need to do is dismantle the central bank. This is what Thomas Jefferson warned us would happen if we allowed our money to become centralized.

    Take from the rich and give to the poor. After all, it's for the good of all people. If we take the money away from the rich, they won't get obviated as the Bible clearly states; and, if we give to the poor, they'll be helped. It's a win/win: ends political corruption, poverty and saves the rich from an eternal fate of doom.

    Thomas Jefferson was a libertarian who believed that cities were evil and kept slaves. He didn't live in an era of widespread stock or derivatives trading. He didn't live in an era of banking, really. Getting rid of a central bank is like getting rid of your parachute when you're falling off of a cliff because you believe that the parachute must be responsible for the fall.

    Why don't governments try some fiscal responsibility and use some of the money for charity. Better yet, less taxes, but encourage donations and individual involvement? Besides, won't the banks just saddle their patrons with part of the tax amount or cut helpful perks? Families are hurting out there and more regulations and taxes on businesses mean higher prices at the pump and grocery stores or cheap junk from China or India, which will send jobs away from home, thus making more poor.
