Dylan Ratigan Echoes Jefferson

Dylan Ratigan is right about everything that he says in this article. Our government doesn't function anymore, at least at the behest of the American citizen. It functions as an extension of lobbyist power, an arm of Too-Big-To-Fail corporations that feed off the hard-earned money of the common American. Obama has appointed many of the people who are responsible for this mess into prominent positions in his administration. When lobbyists and bankers and corporate execs are placed in control of the country, you better believe that they don't have the best interests for the country as a whole. They are concerned only about their own interests. Remember that when Obama gets up at the podium next time to tell the people that all the opposition that he has received against his health care reform are guided by special interests. He should take a look in the mirror and see who is standing behind HIM. If he is so concerned about special interests working against the government then maybe he should ax Timothy Geithner and Larry Summers, and take a good look at the severe nepotism that Hank Paulson brought to the previous administration.

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.

Americans Have Been Taken Hostage

The American people have been taken hostage to a broken system.

It is a system that remains in place to this day.

A system where bank lobbyists have been spending in record numbers to make sure it stays that way....
