Thomas Jefferson Quote about Banking-Truth!

Summary of the eRumor:
The email quotes Thomas Jefferson, one of the founding fathers of the United States, as saying "I sincerely believe that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale."

The Truth:
The quote is only slightly different than the original, but is true.

It comes from a letter that Jefferson wrote to a man named John Taylor in 1816, Jefferson thanked Mr. Taylor for sending him a copy of a publication that he wrote titled Enquiry into the principles of our government.

After commenting on various aspects of the American republic, Jefferson says, "And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity in the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale."

"There is no part of the administration of government that requires extensive information and a thorough knowledge of the principles of political economy, so much as the business of taxation. The man who understands those principles best will be least likely to resort to oppressive expedients, or sacrifice any particular class of citizens to the procurement of revenue. It might be demonstrated that the most productive system of finance will always be the least burdensome." --Alexander Hamilton: Federalist No. 35

We can keep this up all year. There are just as many inaccurate and exagerated links out there trashing Romney as there are Obama. Read this about Romney? He a high priest in the mormon church and says satan and Jesus are brother. Do you believe it? Why? Wanna see more?

The religious zealots in this country are such hypocrits and liars......and we are allowing them to infleunce our elections?
