Americans for Fair Taxation

Thank you, bartermania

There's little I can add to what you've posted. I'm familiar with books about the conspiracy that concerns you. They describe the way financiers have pursued their evil intent since the 1700's or so. Unfortunately, they ignore the much more important questions of how and why these evil schemes work, particularly in our supposedly democratic nation.

I think it should be obvious to even the most casual observer that corruption reqires two sides ... corrupters and corruptees.

In this instance, we can do nothing about the corrupters. They are too well entrenched, too powerful, and far too devious to be brought down by the indignation of the few people who even understand the problem.

We can, however, do something. We can close the conduits of corruption that are the root of the problem. We can devise a way to select more virtuous representatives than we have at present. Until we do that, protesting the outrages of bankers is (in my opinion) futile.
