You pay taxes, you're entitled.

End of the story.

Don't let beezer and his ilk guilt you.

They're the sore losers leftover from the Reagan era. We'll have to listen to them ramble like the Lyndon LaRouches and Ron Pauls of the world (U.S more likely).

There you go, I inserted not one bit of left, right, whatever.

Yet you had to go there.

Pity.

This could have been an interesting thread.

I did have a lot to say,but your silly rules kept me quiet,till now...........

I find it hilarious you set out "rules' in your OWN thread,4-5 posts into it,you break the very rules,you set in place. It didn't take long,actually.Ranting away at REPUBLICANS,and insulting other posters. BTW, I played by your rules,until NOW. Seriously, "You should take a break from ATS ™". Hows that for a trademark..............

Ever think that it was nothing but a joke?

I did.

And now I wish I could start over. Not easy to let go of party affiliations.

ATTENTION ALL

Enough with the fingerpointing, name-calling and swearing - be it "jokes" or not - it's not how we do things on ATS.

Well,I didn't think it was a joke. I actually thought you were going to go somewhere with this thread. I actually was being sincere,when I said,I hope you find peace. EVERYONE is going through tough times,to some extent. Think I will stay out of this thread. Good luck....................................................

We have been working ourselves into peasantry for atleast a century, surely not relevant as the powers who make us work for survival have still not paid for their crimes, no?

This is from the horses mouth (the fed) at,

Who owns the Federal Reserve?

The Federal Reserve System fulfills its public mission as an independent entity within government. It is not "owned" by anyone and is not a private, profit-making institution.

They claim they're not a 'profit-making institution'. So I must assume the interest payments just cover operating costs. This doesn't square with the dividends they pay shareholders. Nor seems compatible with their shareholders being the richest people on earth. Shareholding is a business activity. Or are we to suppose these people are our utilitarian moral guardians, only doing what's best?
