What would Andrew Jackson do? If we're asking how to treat native Americans then we probably don't want to know. If we're talking about centralized banks (the fore-runners of the Federal Reserve) then he's got some prescient points. This is a quote of him while he was jumping up and down on the grave of the 2nd centralized bank he killed.
Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves . . . I intend to rout you out, and by the Eternal God I will rout you out!Shamelessly lifted from Nation Builder. blog comments powered by Disqus
