Publisher's Synopsis
Why do we seem to have so little money? Why is our nation 17 trillion dollars in debt? How much IS $17,000,000,000,000? If that debt were to be divided equally among every U.S. citizen we would all pay more than $45,000 in debt! To whom is this debt owed? Some of it is owed to China and other nations. The majority is owed to the Federal Reserve Bank. President Kennedy and President Lincoln both attempted to place the U.S. Congress in charge of our money. Both were assassinated. We seem to make no connection between their economic policies and their assassination. The U.S. Constitution states clearly that the government is to issue our money. Why does our money come to us in the form of a Federal Reserve Note? a debt the U.S. Government owes to the Federal Reserve Bank? A large part of our debt is war related. The two major World Wars in the last 100 years resulted in huge multinational central banks that control the economy of much of the world. The book looks at the social teachings of two Popes (Leo XIII and John Paul II). They both spoke strongly against exploitation of workers and unjust economic systems. Originally the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim faiths all outlawed usury. Today only the Muslim faith continues to ban usury. The book looks at Native American philosophy which taught that no one may own the resources of the earth, they are a common WEALTH, They exist for the benefit of all the people. It mentions Estonia and Bolivia have passed legislation which states clearly that these elements are common WEALTH and must be used for the benefit of all. The book also looks at many groups of people who are working to make the world a little better for us all. It ends with a request for more people to help make the world a little better for us all.
