This is why the Tea Party is popular and not the GOP. Problem with some conservatives is they are of the mindset that privater enterprise can do no harm, only gov is capable of ripping the people off. Private business is equally ruthless. Just look at who is hiring all the illegal immigrants, no only corporations but also main street businesses. Look who are willing to transfer technology to the Chinese so they can set up factories to put our workers out of work. Yet in the end, these guys will show up on free republic and complain about the border and the Chinese threat. If this country is going to restore itself, it must cut back the size of government and purge the business community of its traitors. Criminal bankers and Wall Street schemers to the gallows first!!!!!
I’ve seen that many times on here people who defend them and the Fed. and they knock Sarah Palin. The Fed is a huge part of the problem they are enabling all the spending I just saw another article about them bailing out CA.
Outraged Yet? What if Fed Buys Munis? (Will California be bailed out by the Federal Reserve?)

Quoting another freeper “ algernonpj “
It’s interesting how many forget that the Fed is right out of Marx’s Manifesto:
“The proletariat will use its political supremacy to wrest, by degree, all capital from the bourgeoisie, to centralize all instruments of production in the hands of the state, i.e., of the proletariat organized as the ruling class; and to increase the total productive forces as rapidly as possible.
Of course, in the beginning, this cannot be effected except by means of despotic inroads on the rights of property, and on the conditions of bourgeois production; by means of measures, therefore, which appear economically insufficient and untenable, but which, in the course of the movement, outstrip themselves, necessitate further inroads upon the old social order, and are unavoidable as a means of entirely revolutionizing the mode of production. ... “
Measure No 5 of 10 to achieve the above in advanced nations =
“5. Centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.”

Free enterprise ain’t fraud. Simple as that. It’s not that the banks are engaged in free enterprise. It’s that they are engaged in theft.
