If so, why haven't these "people" been sentenced to death?

Are Banks People?
President Andrew Jackson called the First National Bank "you are den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the grace of Eternal God, I will rout you out."
I suspect the Federal Reserve and it's Wall Street Goldman Butthax cronies to be just the same today. They are predators feeding off the carcass that was once the late great USA.

Come on Mike just because we give longer prison sentences to people who smoke crack cocaine instea of multi-billion dollar ponzu schemes doesn't mean there is anything wrong with this country at all! ![[Image: undecided.gif]](https://rooshvforum.network/images/smilies/undecided.gif)

I don't like the banking situation today either, but I am afraid your characterization of Andrew Jackson is greatly misunderstood. I used to feel the same way, as a matter of fact. I am afraid Jackson was the first true British agent saboteur of the United States, and is not only responsible for the trail of tears, but the ruining of our national credit system, which was and is necessary to manifest the true sovereignty, development, and even perhaps the intention of our nation. I urge you to also consider this point of view:
Can we have sovereignty, stability, and productive development without control of our finances? I am interested in your take on the video.

Who is gonna sentence them to death?!?
The government?
In many ways, THEY OWN THE GOVERNMENT. The fund the campaigns. They put people in office.
This is the corrupt world we live in..
Thank you! I find the common assumption that our political systems are democratic to be exasperating, when the reality is that democracy is nothing other than a cherished illusion.
The government is not in bed with big business. Big business IS the government.
Don’t even think that voting has anything to do with that, or that the government can be reformed through pressure from the electorate. Politics is a business of purchasing political favours from bureaucrats. It has very little to do with the electorate.
It’s similar to the free press. The press is not in business to report the news. It’s in the business to sell advertisements.
This idea of voting influencing policy is just a red herring – something to keep us distracted from our powerlessness.
But there is a very strong reason why this blatantly obvious plain as the nose on your face fact will never be accepted. It’s too painful.
Humans are built to NEED the illusion of control.
But there is an emotionally workable option that gives us a feeling of being empowered that doesn’t rely on holding onto the illusion of democracy. Don’t accept the matrix. Make your own rules.
The law may still have power over you, but it's a very different attitude to view laws as "their" laws, not your laws. Don't be a good little cog in a machine that cares nothing for you. Every operating system can be hacked.
Step one to political power is independence from the grasp of the machine.
Politicians are like Ad men. They are masters of human nature. Just as PUAs are masters at pushing the buttons of females, politicians know human nature and what buttons to push to their personal advantage.
Fear of an outsider. Loyalty to ingroup. Scapegoating.
Please understand the red herring of political empowerment. It's just another tool in the politicians belt.
By all means, vote. But have a concept of scale, and know where true power resides.
