Tricky Dick was just one of them. Before him FDR stole a huge percentage of the privately-owned wealth. I don't remember exactly, but something like 1/3 of all the American people's net worth.
Overnight.
By Presidential directive.
Nobody objected.
What I would like to know is; when the heck are the American people going to start getting mad?
I got mad when I started studying Ron Paul’s message and realized how our government ignores the Constitution and devalues the dollar. Then I see stuff like the confiscation of weapons in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina and the housing bailout.
When people become educated (and I’m not talking about government run public education) people will start to get mad... hopefully.
“when the heck are the American people going to start getting mad?”
I don’t think folks remeber how. We’ve become comfortably numb.
