W.L. Mackenzie King | Once a nation parts with the control of its currency and credit, it matters not who makes the nations laws.
in William Lyon Mackenzie King"Once a nation parts with the control of its currency and credit, it matters not who makes the nations laws. Usury, once in control, will wreck any nation. Until the control of the issue of currency and credit is restored to government and recognized as its most sacred responsibility, all talk of the sovereignty of parliament and of democracy is idle and futile."
William Lyon Mackenzie King

Ronald Reagan | inflation is a tax and not by accident
in Ronald Reagan"When a business or an individual spends more than it makes, it goes bankrupt. When government does it, it sends you the bill.

Monika Hausammann | Inflationary policy is thus robbery policy in a double sense
in Monika Hausammann"Inflationary policy is thus robbery policy in a double sense: it robs people not only of their ownership of legitimately acquired goods and thus of the core and principle of freedom, but also of their drive to honest, sincere, responsible and sustainable dealings with fellow human beings and resources. Where such is not only not a taboo, but the order of the day, sooner or later ownership of one's own person and body will again be up for debate."
