Anonymous The Bankers Are The Problem.wmv

We often hear the claim that our nation is a democracy. That wasn't the vision of the founders. They saw democracy as another form of tyranny. If we've become a democracy, I guarantee you that the founders would be deeply disappointed by our betrayal of their vision. The founders intended, and laid out the ground rules, for our nation to be a republic. The word "democracy" appears nowhere in the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution -- two most fundamental documents of our nation. Instead of a democracy, the Constitution's Article IV, Section 4, guarantees "to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government." Moreover, let's ask ourselves: Does our pledge of allegiance to the flag say to "the democracy for which it stands," or does it say to "the republic for which it stands"? Or do we sing "The Battle Hymn of the Democracy" or "The Battle Hymn of the Republic"? So what's the difference between republican and democratic forms of government? John Adams captured the essence of the difference when he said, "You have rights antecedent to all earthly governments; rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws; rights derived from the Great Legislator of the Universe." Nothing in our Constitution suggests that government is a grantor of rights. Instead, government is a protector of rights. In recognition that it's Congress that poses the greatest threat to our liberties, the framers used negative phrases against Congress throughout the Constitution such as: shall not abridge, infringe, deny, disparage, and shall not be violated, nor be denied. In a republican form of government, there is rule of law. All citizens, including government officials, are accountable to the same laws. Government power is limited and decentralized through a system of checks and balances. Government intervenes in civil society to protect its citizens against force and fraud but does not intervene in the cases of peaceable, voluntary exchange. Contrast the framers' vision of a republic with that of a democracy. In a democracy, the majority rules either directly or through its elected representatives. As in a monarchy, the law is whatever the government determines it to be. Laws do not represent reason.They represent power. The restraint is upon the individual instead of government. Unlike that envisioned under a republican form of government, rights are seen as privileges and permissions that are granted by government and can be rescinded by government. How about a few quotations demonstrating the disdain our founders held for democracy? James Madison, Federalist Paper No. 10: In a pure democracy, "there is nothing to check the inducement to sacrifice the weaker party or the obnoxious individual." At the 1787 Constitutional Convention, Edmund Randolph said, " ... that in tracing these evils to their origin every man had found it in the turbulence and follies of democracy." John Adams said,"Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There was never a democracy yet that did not commit suicide." Chief Justice John Marshall observed, "Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos." In a word or two, the founders knew that a democracy would lead to the same kind of tyranny the colonies suffered under King George III. The framers gave us a Constitution that is replete with undemocratic mechanisms. One that has come in for recent criticism and calls for its elimination is the Electoral College. In their wisdom, the framers gave us the Electoral College so that in presidential elections large, heavily populated states couldn't democratically run roughshod over small, sparsely populated states. Here's my question: Do Americans share the republican values laid out by our founders, and is it simply a matter of our being unschooled about the differences between a republic and a democracy? Or is it a matter of preference and we now want the kind of tyranny feared by the founders where Congress can do anything it can muster a majority vote to do? I fear it's the latter.

Conservatives are too stupid to realize by mindlessly supporting the 1% they are becoming their own enemies. They have been brainwashed by right wing hate radio and Faux News because conservatives are too lazy to do fact checks on what they are told. Instead of thinking they instead mindlessly lap up every drop of lying drool from the mouths of Hannity, Limblah, Beck, Levin, Savage & the rest of the dishonest cowards who make fortunes by bearing false witness against their neighbors. Every cons

Everyone look around yourself today. 100% of everything you see was built by the poor, middle class and even slaves, who built the White House. But even products in your home are currently being made using slave labor. Conservatives love slavery and condone abusing workers because they unwittingly support the very people who are trying to destroy them and their ability to earn a living wage. Conservatives hate unions but not one has rejected all the benefits union members fought and died for.

Title is 100% right!

Lets see the history of America how was the first bank of America created, by wealth Europeans with inside the family of Rotschild.

The Bankers themselves paid the government to have a federal system that will protect there money and that these bankers can print out money as they like.

THIS IS HISTORY NOT A CONSPIRACY

Just look at the history of the English banks the bankers can fraud the value of the money because they can print out as much as they want.

@holyscientist Incentive needs to be as simple as 0 and 1, incentive shows you worked for the day and you get all necessities and extras for the day, no price tags. But this is a concept where the industry is regulated instead of the monetary system, which never changes. The system is simply 0 and 1 and a contract that you can share with others that will cover a house and other large necessities over proportionate and justifiable periods of time. Obviously debatable.

@holyscientist There needs to be more engineers to construct the more updated machinery for factories to require less workers in the end. There needs to be a bigger consideration of the disposal of container and packages,by changing the concept to reuse. People should go to grocery stores for instance,with reusable containers to store all the goods,and the store only has bulk contained,not a bunch of boxes etc. People can sanitize their own containers, so can the stores.Saves LOTS
