The Federal Reserve isn't federal...they are allowed to print money which they charge for, then they give that money to banks that they own large interests in, whom them lend that same money back to the government that paid to have it printed. Heck, they don't even bother to print the money most of the time; it is usually just numbers in computers. This is why inflation is so out of control and gold is so expensive.
They actually charge for something that they should have to pay for. It is like if counterfeiters were charging the government to print money, and lending the money to the government...and most of the time, these counterfeiters don't even print the money!
When this country was founded, there were no personal income taxes. One of the major methods of public finance was the creation of currency; the government made fortunes while printing money responsibly. The Fed is a leach on the government, the people, and the industries of this country.
The reason there is no outcry is because most people don't really care about anything...they think that voting democrat or republican or black or female will change the leadership somehow, but they are all the same...and even if an independent got the presidency, the rest of the government as well as the news outlets that control the minds of the general populous would still be the same.

Wooo... That's a new one on me. I know they don't want the public to have any knowledge of a damn thing they do whatsoever, but complete anonymity from the president as well? Not to mention total Carte Blanche movement without the slightest hint of some kind of public outcry or uprising in how many years?
Not that I want to be too skeptical or push a detonator onto a "conspiracy" missile, but what did I miss? I'm familiar with the Federal Reserve, but only in name; thus a misconception with relation to that name. Is there a "reputable" site for more information. I want quantifiable information, not "Anal Cysts Delight in the Conspiracy Theory of..." hyperbole.
I mean, Anonymous may actually be onto something then.
There is no information to be had no solid proof, as its all controlled and i believe that may be point in the attacks to acquire information. because lets face it russ if we didn't all walk around with are head shoved up our ass we would have seen the Second Civil War years ago. anyone with a brain can see this country economic crises is a load of ass. banks are building more banks, high profile stores are going up quicker than a 5 dollar asain hooker,roads are being built, we've got a budget to buy thousands of $900 icraps for schools but not enough for teachers or books. even an utter moron can see there is something/someone else dealing the cards now.

Now, I've read the above comments, but I think its in the best interest of internet-peace that I do not call anyone out directly.
First off: This video is a load of crap. People who have no clue about economics are talking about... economics. To blame the federal reserve for inflation is absolutely wrong. Sure, they contribute a MINOR portion of the overall problem. Inflation can (isn't) be regulated by different monetary policies (mind you, not all inflation is bad inflation).
Next up. In the short video clip - they bring up the 'fact' that US has a massive gap between rich and poor. While this is true. This is a fact people love just to toss around without actually comprehending what they're saying. The IRS released a study maybe 5 years ago? Give or take. The study tagged several people in different income categories. Over the course of the study (10 years I think?) that showed something like 80% of the surveyed people moving freely from one income category to the next. So in short, while there are massive gaps between income levels, people move freely within the market. THIS cannot be said about many other countries.

Actually, inflation is being regulated. It is being regulated by the Fed; the same people who started inflation in this country. When our money was tied to gold, we had deflation...money got more valuable every year; not less valuable every day. Not only is our money no longer tied to gold, but within 30 days, it will be illegal to sell gold or silver as commodities. It is designed to keep people from saving their money...because money in an account earning 3% annually will actually lose value, and now you can't even put your money into gold so that it at least maintains value. The idea is that if no one is saving money, more people will be spending money.
The problem is that most people don't save money just to save money...they save money to spend on big things, and the interest earned would go towards those things if it were not overpowered by inflation.
This is a big part of why the last stock market crash hurt the little guys so much; they knew they might lose money on the market, but they also might win...putting the money in a bank is a guaranteed loss.

Mmm, your viewpoint seems to resemble that of the ?zeitgeist? films. Which worries me greatly...
Back to the topic at hand; Inflation is good for the economy. Yet, everything in moderation. Fed?s do attempt to keep inflation under control, but not ALWAYS doing the greatest job. I?m not to sure what else I can say on that subject, I already feel as if I?m repeating myself.
As for the gold standard comment: I?ll be frank. I do not know enough about the gold standard to debate you on an academic level. I?ve heard plenty of reasons for, and against the gold standard. Let me get back to you. :)
