i don't get it. my employer hires me, and gives me these little slips of paper, which i exchange for food, entertainment, etc. but some thugs from the irs will come to my home with guns if i refuse to give a big portion of it to them......so i still see it as my property. I think i'm missing something!

is it on "loan" because that's the way they see it?

  the federal reserve PRINTS and OWNS our money.. a dollar costs them about a penny to print.. nice profit right..
  
  then they LOAN it to the federal government thru banks.. but they also want interest...
  
  they can make it worth ABSOLUTELY NOTHING anytime they wish and simply issue NEW CURRENCY...
  
  JFK wanted to return the PRINTING of our money back to the treasury department.. bad mistake....
  
  only an IDIOT or person with a death wish would even try to get rid of the Fed..
  
  they simply are TOO POWERFUL.... they do after all control the economic fate of the WORLD....

    Ouch, you have really great points in that post Will! the Federal Reserve is evil and does need to be abolished.
    
    I am going to look at Ron Pauls bill and then hammer my reps. as to why they aren't sponsoring it.

      Sometimes I wonder what would happen if a couple of million Citizens walked into DC carrying boards and hammers and then proceeded to build gibbets from the Hill to the Lincoln Memorial.
      
      I wonder if our politicians would listen to the People then?
      
      I didn't say hang anyone in particular. I just think it would get the message of who is actually in charge across.
