We've had our share of socialism.
We don't want any more.

I agree with your sentiment, but damnit...your gonna get em back into the whole socialism crap!
We need to understand that we need a little bit of both to even out the problems. Both systems are flawed, so we have to compromise!

But aren't you doing the same thing? You are trying to discredit the movement because there may be some elements trying to control it that you disagree with, right?
So are you any better?

Ok stirring the pot. I see.
The socialism I was referring to is embedded in our justice system.
I could give a crap about workers and workers rights, please.

Then please stop calling it socialism, you give it a bad name.
If you're going to be against, or for something, at least know what it is.
You don't give a crap about workers rights? The 99% are the workers, whether you have a 'job' or not. All of us who are not capitalists are 'workers' who sell our labour.
Socialism IS worker rights. You take 'workers' out and it ain't socialism anymore. Just because the capitalist state, and their media, use these terms as propaganda, and not by their true definitions, it doesn't mean we should lower ourselves and accept them.
The Federal Reserve Act (ch. 6, 38 Stat. 251, enacted December 23, 1913, 12 U.S.C. ch.3) is an Act of Congress that created and set up the Federal Reserve System, the central banking system of the United States of America, and granted it the legal authority to issue Federal Reserve Notes (now commonly known as the U.S. Dollar) and Federal Reserve Bank Notes as legal tender. The Act was signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson.
Thomas Woodrow Wilson (December 28, 1856 – February 3, 1924) was the 28th President of the United States, from 1913 to 1921. A leader of the Progressive Movement, he served as President of Princeton University from 1902 to 1910, and then as the Governor of New Jersey from 1911 to 1913. With Progressive ("Bull Moose") Party candidate Theodore Roosevelt and Republican nominee William Howard Taft dividing the Republican Party vote, Wilson was elected President as a Democrat in 1912.
In his first term as President, Wilson persuaded a Democratic Congress to pass major progressive reforms including the Federal Reserve Act, Federal Trade Commission Act, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Federal Farm Loan Act and an income tax. Wilson brought many white Southerners into his administration, and supported the introduction of segregation into many federal agencies.[1]
