defiance. The issuing power [of money] should be taken away from thebanks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs."- Thomas Jefferson"The system of banking we have both equally and ever reprobated. Icontemplate it as a blot left in all our constitutions, which, if notcovered, will end in their destruction. I sincerely believe, withyou...that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, underthe name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale."- Thomas Jefferson"To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn aroundthe powers of Congress is to take possession of a boundless field ofpower, no longer susceptible of any definition. The incorporation of abank, and the powers assumed by this bill (chartering the first Bank ofthe United States) have not, in my opinion, been delegated to the UnitedStates by the Constitution. They are not among the powers speciallyenumerated."- Thomas Jefferson"I wish it were possible to obtain a single amendment to our Constitution- taking from the Federal Government their power of borrowing [fromprivately-owned corporate banks]."- Thomas Jefferson, 1798"We are undone, my dear sir, if legislation is still permitted whichmakes our money, much or little, real or imaginary, as the moneyedinterests shall choose to make it."- Thomas Jefferson"All the perplexities, confusions, and distresses in America arise, notfrom defects in the Constitution or confederation, not from want of honoror virtue, as much as from downright ignorance of the nature of coin,credit, and circulation."- John Adams"Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among thepeople, who have a right...and a desire to know; but besides this, theyhave a right, an indisputable, unalienable, indefeasible, divine right tothat most dreaded and envied kind of knowledge, I mean of the charactersand conduct of their rulers."- John Adams"There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword,the other is by debt."- John Adams"History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse,intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their controlover governments by controlling money and its issuance."- James Madison
