Central Planning, Counterfeiting, And Smiling While Lying!

"Collective wisdom' he says and 'those who understand the banking system' he then says.

Upon further questioning he says "I am not familiar with the Federal Reserve audit!'

This could be summarized in another way: "Socialism, then Keynesianism, and then doing the bidding of the unConstitutional coup!"

"collective wisdom" will solve all the problems. Just have the right people in office! They'll save us from freedom and can plan out our lives and spread the wealth for the benefit of everyone.

Remember when Ron Paul cautioned us and said that we shouldn't be so frustrated with the slowness of our movement that we look to other methods? I think it takes a lot of guts to say that to us because he's been fighting it for thirty years and even admits to being skeptical of changing the system. It is the barrage of taxes, inflation, cronyism, the Keynesian/big government mentality, the socialist apologists, and the media that just hammer away at us day in, day out as if all this were normal and for our benefit. Kudos to Dr. Paul for keeping his head up and fighting the good fight all these years.

Did you see the way he laughed as he tried to dodge the audit question? I can't tell if he was being snarky or nervous. Either way he was lying through his teeth, and doesn't support it. Just more empty political words and bloated government bureaucracy.

This guy needs to be fired.

"I'm not familiar with the Audit the Fed bill"

It's not very hard to understand. Only 3 pages.

Furthermore, how can someone utter so much nonsense and still have a job. His statements are incoherent gibberish. Someone so incompetent has no business having a job in this country other than digging a ditch.

"I'm not familiar with THE federal reserve audit."

Strange choice of words for somebody who's never heard of it.

Nice laughter. Nice.

"A financial system that creates wealth" sounds like something straight from the La Rouche PAC. In their what I believe to be a fantasmic utopia self righteousness the so called "American system" says the solution to exploitative government programs is more government programs and unlike their predecessors these new government won't be corrupt. Why do the social democrats/progressives say this? How can we know these new systems will do what has not been done before. "The people/structure that were in power before were bad, we the new rulers," they say, "are only here to serve the poor people, give us and Barabbas a new try. All these programs would be perfect if it wasn't for the people that were put in charge. Ponerology is a study of evil, Poltical Ponerology by Lobaczewski is very interesting.

Ultimately, as a poor person, I am offended that this Agency Representative feels that I am a part of a class of people that can't think for themselves and needs to be coddled like children.

What about Fiat Currency and Inflationary Policy?

If all of Jim Carr's wealth and property was taken from him he wouldn't be poor because of his intellectual capital and cultural capital is limitless in their ability to create wealth. (His lack of financial ethics may serve him well also.)

What about federally funded education? "It is naive to think federally funded schools will teach about the ills of too much concentration of power." -Future of freedom foundation.

What about fractional reserve banking?

What about artificially set interest rates?

What about legal tender laws?

What about taxes on savings and labor?
