Read April 2005 "Kennedy Scott vs. Kansas City Federal Reserve". The Fed IS a privately owned corporation. The IRS serves as the collection agencey for the Fed. See 1981 GraceComissionReport. We are a nation divided and conquered: between those who receive welfare (corporate) and those individuals forced (at gunpoint) to send taxes to the IRS each month. What is wrong states rights? Senators were ofiginally evisioned as agentsof the states who elected them. Likewise they could be recalled by those states. Your dismissal of Mr. Paul's points, only serves keep your readers ignorant and enslaved to the system. Thanks to the survalliance state. We will all awaken to the tyranny of our federal government and those global interest who wield its power against the people.

Wall Street Bankers financed the Bolshevik (Communist) revolution. Without American money and heavy corporate investment the Marxist revolution would have been dead on arrival. That American support continued for 70 years even during the so called cold war.
So excuse me if I don't buy the standard text book bullshit that Marxists and Capitalists are somehow antagonists and enemies. If that was true, Lenin and company wouldn't have lasted 6 months.
