Oh, Howard Hughes (updated to Jamie Diamond )īig fan of Godley & Creme. They plead with you, buddy can you spare the dime They wind up on skid row with holes in their pockets "A banker is a man who loans you umbrellas when the sun is shining and demands it back the moment it looks like rain." - Mark Twain ''This great and powerful force-the accumulated wealth of the United States-has taken over all the functions of Government, Congress, the issue of money, and banking and the army and navy in order to have a band of mercenaries to do their bidding and protect their stolen property.'' - Senator Richard Pettigrew - Triumphant Plutocracy - Published, January 1, 1922 But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost for your own slavery, let them continue to create money." - Sir Jostah Stamp, President of the Bank of England in the 1920's, the second richest man in Britain However, take away from them the power to create money, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for a better world to live in.
Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with a flick of the pen they will create enough money to buy it back again. "Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. It is cruel that such revolutions in private fortunes should be at the mercy of avaricious adventurers, who, instead of employing their capital, if any they have, in manufactures, commerce, and other useful pursuits, make it an instrument to burden all the interchanges of property with their swindling profits, profits which are the price of no useful industry of theirs." -Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Cooper, 1814 We are to be ruined now by the deluge of bank paper. "Everything predicted by the enemies of banks, in the beginning, is now coming to pass. " Of all forms of tyranny the least attractive and the most vulgar is the tyranny of mere wealth, the tyranny of plutocracy " - John Pierpont Morgan
