Economic Collapse

“Money, when considered as the fruit of many years’ industry, as the reward of labor, sweat and toil, as the widow’s dowry and children’s portion, and as the means of procuring the necessaries and alleviating the afflictions of life, and making old age a scene of rest, has something in it sacred that is not to be sported with, or trusted to the airy bubble of paper currency.”
– Thomas Paine

“When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes… Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain.”
– Napoleon Bonaparte, 1815

“Let me issue and control a nation’s money supply, and I care not who makes its laws.”
- Mayer Amschel Rothschild, Founder of Rothschild Banking Dynasty

“The principle of spending money to be paid by posterity under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.”
- Thomas Jefferson

“I am more concerned with the return of my money than the return on my money”
- Mark Twain
