..so you support a centralized banking system?Jefferson couldn't stand Hamilton who was a big backer of a central banking system (thank G*D he prevailed)...hence the quote. Gotta look at the context.

Actually no i dont have any bank accounts, I do use money mart to cash checks. And what benefits??? Please explain the benefits of a central bank?How can one not... and then live off it's benefits without being a complete hypocrite? I'm supposing you have a bank account and such?

It wasnt the banks that created technology. We did. If the central banks were not there Im sure people would have stepped up and figured something else out. Maybe we wouldnt even be in the situation we are in right now.It is the central banking system which has built the modern world you live in. No other system has ever created more benefits to society in such a short time. No one has come up with a better idea either, or certainly it would be employed. Most wealthy folks get there by earning it.... overwhelmingly. The wonderful thing is anyone with a modicum of intelligence and patience can amass a great wealth in the US, no matter how much you start out with... and I do mean anybody. Truly a land of opportunity...at least it used to be... it's being dismantled as I type this.... you may get your wish yet. I hope you have a food garden planted.

The banking system is what allows huge sums of capital to be gathered and funneled to people who MAKE things happen. I.E. .. technology. You can slip in another monetary system, but the results would be mind numbingly miserable compared to a central bank. Of course democracy would be dead in the water as well. I'm trying to see an upside to it, but nope...It wasnt the banks that created technology. We did.

Its not like society was failing before central banks. You cant say a central banking system is the reason for the modern world we have today. Its Only responsible for debt and political BS. Central banks fund Both sides of the wars. There only goal is to profit. You take Central Banksters out of the equation for the last 50 years and I bet there would be no WW2, no Vietnam, None of it. Both sides of Every war has been funded by the central banking system and they reap massive profits, Record profits during war times.
I never said anyone cant get wealthy. I can make money without a bank, Without the bank hitting me with fees I actually have more money. Its critical thinking and common sense that will get you ahead in life, Not conforming to societies way of thinking.
They tell you to go to school, go to university, take out thousands of dollars in loans, Then try to get a job..
How would not having a central bank lower our standards of living?The banking system is what allows huge sums of capital to be gathered and funneled to people who MAKE things happen.

You say it is critical thinking that gets you ahead... I suggest you reexamine your info. Go live in Iran if you want the rush of a non central banking system...of course you won't have a standard of living...but your position dictates you are willing to give that up...

I think Iran got brought up when you implied that not having a central banking system in USA/Canada would lower our standards of living to that of Iran. Or you recommended I should go live in Iran if I wanted to know what it was like to not have a central banking system..Okay lets see, Iran's standard of living is 72nd in the world...... pretty shabby.
But let's not just rely on cold data. The very fact that beheadings are a COMMON occurrence tells me all I need to know about visiting Iran.
Although it might be comforting to know that if I do visit that country and I make a declaration that a woman was making indiscreet "LOOKS" at me, I can get her head cut off. Think of the photo's I'd have to show the neighbors. See that headless woman? She looked at me funny. HAH!!! My honor restored...whew! (they actually believe that...think about that)
Yah, what do I know,...

Well, it is you who stated that great posit of the 21st century.... perspective is the key to perception. That's a keeper....
Let me state it another way. The central banking system has provided all those who utilize it a DISTINCT advantage over those who do not. Ergo, it is better.
Now, if you have a better idea, let's hear it. Believe me, if you came up with a system that was superior, people would listen. You would be on every economic rag's cover!! Let's hear it.
Honestly, I don't think you understand what it is you are railing against. And unless you live completely debt free and pay cash for all of your personal effects...it's a bit hypocritical to bite the hand which has fed, clothed and sheltered you.

Surprised? No. I think you make some rather large assumptions.Ahhh so it is a surprise to you that the world lives on debt?
I dont think anyone really knows why he got assassinated, But he Did, so someone didnt like what he was doing. And same with Lincoln. He tried to take on the big banks, and he got assassinated too.While I certainly do agree that we should tether the dollar to gold to escape having a fiat currency, I don't think JFK was assassinated for his push towards it since we were on the gold tether at the time of his presidency. It was NIXON who took us off of gold, years later.
