For more than twenty years
the living standards of middle class Americans
have steadily declined
incomes have remained flat or falling
and the opportunities and security we once took for granted
have begun to fade.
For most families, one income no longer pays the bills;
it requires two or more incomes to afford a home,
pay medical and childcare expenses, and put children through school.
Unless present trends change,
young workers are unlikely to ever live as well as their parents.
Good jobs with a future are harder to come by;
education doesn't count for what it once did;
taxes continue to rise while social security is going bankrupt.
Private pensions are no longer reliable;
economic volatility and uncertainty are on the rise.
Politicians espouse numerous theories
about the cause of this country's economic woes;
seldom however do these officials look below the surface:
the roots of our economic ills can be traced
to central banking and our present monetary system.
The Federal Reserve claims to manage our money;
instead it makes our money worth less and less every day.
It has generated continuous and worsening business cycles
and lowered our living standards.
It's really no different from a burglar in your house
wanting to steal your money.
That's what the Federal Reserve does.
It depreciates your savings; it takes away your economic security
and it ought to be treated as an institution that does that
rather than something of alleged benefit.
Money is supposed to serve as a reliable standard of economic value
not a source of instability
Until we restore sound money and take away the government's ability to debase it,
we have little hope of restoring the freedom
and prosperity that made America great.
And we really have a choice of what we want in money.
Do you want money that is going to be losing its value every year?
or do you want money that is going to be gaining in value?
If you are happy with your money losing value,
then you want the present system.
If you want money to increase in value, then you want a gold standard.
