Every state should have their own bank again. Interstate commerce should always involve the swapping of different types of currency. Moving would be so easy. You just have to sit on the state border and hope people would swap your NY money for their CT money. And if you couldn't, well, you can't move.Common SenseWed, 05 Nov 2008 01:21:10 -0000http://riseuprochester.org/2008/10/16/free-market-not-failing/#comment-3443243legalizing competition is the smartest thing to doSean LiebelSun, 02 Nov 2008 11:42:31 -0000http://riseuprochester.org/2008/10/16/free-market-not-failing/#comment-3443229Also look at honorable man like Abraham Lincoln who fought the fed and also Andrew Jackson who "killed the bank". It is inspiring to understand what they did to help break these people down. Without debt money can not be created by these bankers but with the consent and the good credit of americans paper money can work as long as it does not bear debt and interest in its usage.Sean LiebelSun, 02 Nov 2008 11:40:17 -0000http://riseuprochester.org/2008/10/16/free-market-not-failing/#comment-3261474yes, fractional reserving is one of the abusive tools of the abusive federal reserve which is owned by abusive corporations which are in turn owned by abusive people. I totally agree.kenyatta dacostaThu, 23 Oct 2008 15:58:22 -0000http://riseuprochester.org/2008/10/16/free-market-not-failing/#comment-3246114Fractional reserving is very abusive tooSean LiebelWed, 22 Oct 2008 12:05:45 -0000http://riseuprochester.org/2008/10/16/free-market-not-failing/#comment-3246113Good point Jeff, Jefferson was right precisely because he had experience with the deception of the central 'reserve' banking system of Europe through the tyranny of the British Empire.riseuprochesterThu, 16 Oct 2008 18:30:33 -0000http://riseuprochester.org/2008/10/16/free-market-not-failing/#comment-3246112You are very right. It is evident that too few banks hold and control most of the money that American's possess. This is a monopoly on our nation's wealth and a very bad situation for all of us to be in. Whether it was greed or a coordinated effort to humble Americans, this predicament is a direct cause of the current state of the economy. Its amazing how right Jefferson was all those years ago in the early days of the United States.Jeffrey LevyThu, 16 Oct 2008 17:52:15 -0000http://riseuprochester.org/2008/10/16/free-market-not-failing/#comment-3246111KJDYATTA, this is an excellent summary of what's going on right now. We have a system built on deception and a media that seeks to deceive us about that deception. You're right to say that we're not free.riseuprochesterThu, 16 Oct 2008 14:03:52 -0000
