it would be the bankers and the wall street thugs that would find themselves in the interment camps rather than the average patriotic american.

Great I'll never get a mortgage now! If that is the truth about the banking change then the only loans given will be to the elite who have the collaterall. It'd be the middle class and poor who'd be stuck with nowhere to go.

I'm going to give you a S & F for this post. This is exactly what I think is occurring. Obama is a double-agent, if you will. He cannot come right out and say America is corrupted by corporate greed. What he seeks to do is put into place limits on what corporations may do. He is doing this through the vehicle known as socialism. However, this is why what he says and what appears to be done are two different things. The corporate entities are pissed because he is removing their power. When the changes are made government will firmly be in control.
Imagine you were really President and you knew that if you stepped out of line, or made bold statements against those really in power then you would be dealt with. But imagine you were truly for the people, and wanted to see a better world. Imagine that there are positions of power that may usurp the authority of the President and do anything they wished it if the President stood up to them. Imagine you don't know who these people are. How would you institute a just economy, or system of governing? You would have to remove the power from those areas under a guise of making it better for them.

The only just form of government, as I see it, is to not govern at all. Rather, to educate the people so they can govern themselves.
Way easier that way, and cheaper.

You have to have some sort of authoritative body.

"Mr. Chairman, the United States is bankrupt: It has been bankrupted by the corrupt and dishonest Fed. It has repudiated its debts to its own citizens. Its chief foreign creditor is Great Britain, and a British bailiff has been at the White House and the British Agents are in the United States Treasury making inventory arranging terms of liquidations!..."Mr. Chairman, the Fed has offered to collect the British claims in full from the American public by trickery and corruption, if Great Britain will help to conceal its crimes. The British are shielding their agents, the Fed,... “The Fed Note is essentially unsound. It is the worst currency and the most dangerous that this Country has ever known... They should not have made the Government [liable on the private] debts of individuals and corporations, and, least of all, on the private debts of foreigners.”
"The Prime Minister of England came here for money! He came here to collect cash! "He came here with Fed Currency and other claims against the Fed which England had bought up in all parts of the world. And he has presented them for redemption in gold Source
