You can change wall street companies and tax codes and whatever else you want but it won't do a damn thing until the Federal Reserve is dismantled. They are the ones who create our currency in the first place. There is nothing "Federal" about it, it's a privately owned corporation out for their own profit who lends our government money with interest. Why do you think the income tax was created the same year as the Federal Reserve? Because your hard earned money goes to pay for the INTEREST on our own currency! If people actually understood this they would be outraged, but instead they're all confused and don't know who the hell to blame.

People want to talk about paying off our debt a little here and a little there, but you can't even begin to deal with the debt problem until we reform the banking system from the bottom up.

A generation ago a loaf of bread cost somewhere around $0.25. What does it cost today? That isn't Wall Street's fault, it's the Federal Reserve's fault. They create inflation and the bubbles to begin with!
