“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 them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.” ~ Thomas Jefferson
“One of the biggest taxes is one that is not even called a tax — Inflation. When the government spends money that it creates, it is transferring part of the value of your money to themselves. It is quiet taxation but often heavy taxation, falling on everyone, no matter how low their incomes might be.” ~ Thomas Sowell
"By a continuous process of inflation, government can confiscate, secretly and un-observed, an important part of the wealth of its citizens." ~ John Maynard Keynes [Economist]
"Printing money is merely taxation in another form. Rather than robbing citizens of their money, government robs their money of its purchasing power." ~ Peter Schiff
"One of the biggest, and one of the oldest, taxes is inflation. Governments have stolen their people’s resources this way, not just for centuries, but for thousands of years." ~ Thomas Sowell
"Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes it’s laws" ~ Mayer Amschel Bauer Rothschild
"Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." ~ John Maynard Keynes, 1919

“G. Edward Griffin re-tells the story of how and why the Federal Reserve was created in 1913 at a secret meeting on Jekyll Island. He explains how money is created and how the present system is destroying the purchasing power of money through a process called inflation. He explains why there is no hope of stopping this process until a significant segment of the population (perhaps 15%) understands the scam and pushes back politically. In the meantime, people will accept any insult to their liberties in order to survive, which is the reason why one crisis after another is scientifically engineered. Confusion and fear is the secret weapon of tyrants.” ~ GEG

The Fed’s sole power turns out to be further enriching the few at the expense of the many.
"Inflation is theft from the working class perpetrated by the billionaire class." ~ Anthony Zenkus
