Some kid robs a 7/11, does eight years in jail. A whole class of racketeers steal, pass on unjust debts to non benefactors in the trillions, no problem. Good job even!

I like that ~ a little "house" to house, maybe some door to door, to find bankers to drag them over to the courthouse for examination and interrogation.

Then, to the bait house for the sharks (something positively Medieval is definitely in order).

I was in Marsh Harbor in the Bahamas drinking in a super dive bar with the locals watching the NFL and they said a good non tourist thing to see was the garbage scow dump at sea. Conditioned sharks, hundreds of them, like sea gulls.

We get to bail them out and then they penalize us further by upping fees and paying little interest on savings and charging high interest loans.

Ages ago I went out to the Atlantic shore with some friends ~ my first time there in fact. We were just wandering around in the water looking at the waves and stuff, and there were some FINs sticking up out there ~ going back and forth.

Some said they were just dolphins, but they were gray and pretty much looked like pictures I'd seen of sharks.

I left the water. The lifeguards left the water. All the old people left the water. My lunatic friends stayed out there and watched.

This summer we had a bunch of Great Whites out there and they were showing what they look like on TV, and by golly, that's what they looked like WAY BACK WHEN.

Sharks could get their fill of food preying on just stupid humans!

Why have we not arrested bankers here and ended the Federal Reserve System?

Yes they are. The reason they are starting to recover is that they did not bail out anyone. The Kr is now 117 to the dollar. Last summer it was about 127 when I was there and the summer before it was about 132 to the dollar. Things there are slowly getting better from what we hear from family there.

Because they write the law.

When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.

You are correct. Our with very little exception, the bankers control both parties. This is why government always grows. The bigger government gores, the larger the bankers cut. Many on this board mistakenly believe that if Republicans were in power they would actually reduce the size of government, while history shows this simply is not true. Our monitory system requires constant economic growth and government is used as a lever to create that growth. If you want small government, we must not allow the government to borrow money. We need to end the Federal Reserve system.
