The system is private, conducted for the sole purpose of obtaining the greatest possible profits from the use of other people’s money,” Congressman Charles A. Lindbergh Sr., 1923

“It is well enough that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning” — Attributed to Henry Ford
