Q:A lot of people point to the legislation that repealed the Glass-Steagal Act in the late 1990's - especially the bipartisan Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (written by Republicans; signed by Democrat President Bill Clinton).But it seems like the big banks had a lot of power even before then.When and why did the American voters decide to give these big banks so much power over our political and economic systems?Because to me, this seems like a really dumb decision.Why were so many Americans so dumb for so long?

It wasn't that they got so powerful, it was that they got too greedy. 20 to 30 years ago a CEO made less than $1m per year for salary. Now, they all start at $10m per year plus bonuses and options. A CEO today easily makes $50m plus per year. It's all greed, why else keep working at age 65 when you have $300m in savings? Does the wife really buy that much jewelry?

Q:Can supporters of the privately-owned Federal Reserve Bank and it's governmental partner the IRS, explain how this partnership improve and benefits the lives of the average American?

I've need heard of a NON FOR PROFIT private corporation. The Federal Reserve is by all means an extension of capitalism, since when people demand debt then debt is sold. I would support getting rid of anything that is an extension of capitalism. There is $14 trillion of money circulation. I would gladly contract the money supply and let people see what real capitalism is; based on artificial scarcities and having elites control the money supply. If you abolished fractional reserve banking, that means the $93 trillion of us assets circulating aroun the world will become virtually worthless and we will enter a depression. I guess that's great though, because once we get out of the depression, at least we will have state banks controlling the $300 billion of gold that will be in circulation, and at least the government can't represent the interests of the working class.

Q:Do they have the power to sell your land without your permission? Is that against the law?Thank you in advance.

The purpose of a power of attorney is to allow the attorney-in-fact to act in your place. In other words, HE CAN BUY SELL YOUR LAND. HE CAN WITHDRAW ALL OF YOUR MONEY IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNTS AND BURN THEM UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. It's perfectly legal.
