Why do we allow banking institutions to control our money, since they are dangerous to liberty?

Before I agree with your statement I must respond to Gray Sha... First of all, quoting anything from the disgraced New York Times will never an argument make. The 16th Amendment was Not properly ratified by 2/3 of the states (Remember Judge Bork?- who said during his Senate confirmation hearing in 1989 that both the 16th Amendment AND The Uniform Commercial Code were BOTH unConstitutional because they were FORCED on the American people. When he said these things, the money-powers' puppets in the Senate crashed and burned any chance Judge Bork might have had.) As far as tax protestors having a 0.00 win ratio, you obviously don't get out much. At this time I personally know of over 1500 people in my state that DO NOT pay any federal taxes AT ALL. They went to court and shredded the IRS arguments by forcing them to enter the contract into evidence giving them either jurisdiction or power-of-attorney over their labor. Thus, forcing them (IRS) into a procedural nightmare that would've spelled disaster for them if they answered on record, they gracefully and shamefully admitted they had NO jurisdiction over ANY American worker's wages (NOT INCOME- Unless you live in the District of Columbia-Slaughter-House Cases) and that these people were not ones "required to file under de'jure Constitutional Law". It's all about PROCEDURE-NOT SUBJECT MATTER. How many Americans do you think the government wants to know ANY of this? You need to really do your homework and research; the New York Times is hardly the place to start. House Banking Chairman Ranking was killed because he went public with this years ago. Remember- these people assassinate presidents and can, with a nod, economically destroy any nation on earth they so choose. The reason banks are the power in this country and the world is ALL thanks to the Rothchilds and their political and judicial stooges who sold this country out decades before most of us were even born. Answer this tantalizing question if you can. If either the IRS or the Federal Reserve are legitimate agencies of the US Government, then why until 1999 were NEITHER listed in the blue pages of ANY phonebook in the nation, but instead listed in the "white" pages? ONLY the blue pages list ALL legitimate government agencies at the federal and state level, and that includes BOTH governmental and civilian phonebooks. It is so easy for the average American to never look into or think about these things because it is so easy to get so much past them. That is exactly why the average American calls this factual and easily confirmed information CONSPIRACY THEORY, and the real rulers of this nation rejoice in that fact. If none of this helps you, Gray Sha.., ponder this shocking quote- "It has come to my attention that plots exist to overthrow the sovereignty of the American people, and I feel it is my duty to inform them of this before I leave office."- PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY- Congressinal Archives.

I saw the film and found it to be blantanly disinformative and misleading. But don't take my word for it.

From the NY Times:

"Facts Refute Filmmaker’s Assertions on Income Tax in ‘America’"

"...examination of the assertions in Mr. Russo’s documentary.. shows... they ... collapse under the weight of fact."

"Many of the reviews in major newspapers have accepted as having some factual basis the film’s main contention, ... even though every court that has ever ruled on these issues has upheld the constitutionality of the income tax.

"All of the federal income tax revenue, the film says, goes to these bankers to pay interest on the national debt, even though by the broadest measure the federal government’s interest payments are less than 40 percent of the individual income taxes"

"... Mr. Russo says ...that the Internal Revenue Service has refused every request to show any law making Americans liable for an income tax on their wages. ... Yet among those thanked in the credits for their help in making the film is Anthony Burke, an I.R.S. spokesman. Mr. Burke said that when Mr. Russo called him asking what law required the payment of income taxes on wages, he sent Mr. Russo a link to documents, including Title 26 of the United States Code, citing the specific sections that require income taxes be paid on wages. Title 26 says on its face that it is law enacted by Congress."

"..Arguments made in court that the income tax is invalid are so baseless that Congress has authorized fines of $25,000 for anyone who makes them..."

"... Mr. Russo says in the film that the 16th Amendment was never properly ratified and thus a tax on wages is unconstitutional. This claim has been made in various forms by thousands of tax protesters since 1913, and so far their batting average with the courts is .000.
To buttress the claim that the 16th Amendment is invalid, the film displays a quotation from a federal district judge, James C. Fox. But the transcript from which the judge’s words were taken shows that while he spoke those words, they were in the context of laying out issues and that the conclusion he reached was the opposite of the words quoted."

- Regarding the comment that the Federal Reserve is private. That is not wholly true.

The Federal Reserve System is organized ...

The Federal Reserve System is organized with a government agency at the top (the Board of Governors), and branches beneath them that resemble private corporations. (http://www.federalreserveeducation.org/f... )

The Board of Governors are all appointed for 14-year terms by the president and confirmed by congress. It operates per it's charter and laws set by congress. it is overseen by congress. There is no structure or mechanism for private ownership at this level. Board members are forbidden by law to have any economic interest in a private bank.

The 12 branches, however, are organized similar to private corporations. Member banks are required to buy shares in their branch. They can vote for 6 of their 9 board members. The shares get a standard 6% dividend. These shares cannot be sold on the open market. All 'profit' from the Federal Reserve branches are turned over to the Treasury at the end of the year. Is this private ownership? The Feds say No. (ref http://www.federalreserve.gov/generalinf... ) However, the courts have ruled that the branches can be considered private corporations in regards to tort law, though they are performing funcitons as agents of the Federal Government.

Check out how the Clintons used the IRS to audit and harass anyone who didn't agree with them!
A very serious crime, but they got away with it.
Democrats are pretty much "above the law".

Because most Americans are afraid to know the truth or stand up for their rights.

Sad isn't it?

As Eddie Sutton said, "Because there were the money is."

You believe everything you see or read???

You're a larger threat to American freedom. You're incapable of thinking for yourself.

I certainly hope I don't end up behind you in the drive-thru.
