End the evil that is the Federal Reserve

"To those who do not know, the Federal Reserve is a “quasi-governmental” body. It is not a government entity and it is not a private entity. The Fed is owned by private banks who hold shares in the system. While the banks that have stakes in the Fed are typically audited, the Fed itself has never been audited. The first ever audit has been conducted over the last few months due to an amendment in the Dodd-Frank Bill. The results were truly staggering. Over $16,000,000,000,000.00 has been given in bailouts to banks and other corporations throughout the world from December 2007 – June 2010. Remember, that is just for a three year period. The Federal Reserve has been in existence since 1913. This $16 trillion dollar figure surpasses both the national debt and the annual gross domestic product for the United States." -Amir Townsend

"The laws of supply and demand apply to money. The more dollars we have in the circulation, the less the currency is worth. Our money supply has rapidly increased over the past century due to the Federal Reserve printing massive amounts of money like there is no tomorrow. This is what will almost inevitably happen when a quasi-governmental entity can simply print more money to its heart’s content. Since the Federal Reserve came into existence in 1913, the dollar has lost over 95 percent of its value. Today’s dollar is worth less than a nickel compared to the pre-1913 dollar." -Julie Boroski

"A U.S. dollar is an IOU from the Federal Reserve Bank. It's a promissory note that doesn't actually promise anything. It's not backed by gold or silver." -P. J. O'Rourke

"Prices are going up. Unemployment continues to go up. And we have not had the necessary correction for the financial bubble created by our Federal Reserve system." -Ron Paul
