We should be hearing less from our Federal Government and more from the locals...

At any level when the government dictates what the market can and cannot do you no longer have a free market. The underlying currency is fiat so thus anything above that is not free.

Sad that but our country has fallen prey to this thinking.

We have done the same thing with freedom, which holds even more sinister outcomes.

We believe that the government has the right to dictate what freedoms and liberties we have and thus true freedom is not accomplished. The more this degradation occurs the closer to full blown tyranny we get.

At the Federal Level we should be hearing much less in regards to our daily lives. Those concerns should be with our local governments only. Sad but its not just the Democrats that violate this Constitutional mindset in their practices and ideology but even the Republicans miss this point.

This shift of power from the local governments has been happening almost from the beginning.  This shift was seen most clearly during Andrew Jackson's presidency. Even his own vice president, John Calhoun disagreed with Jackson's unconstitutional position that the Federal Government ought to have more power over the states. Calhoun was in strong support of maintaining State's rights over the Federal government which is the way it was originally intended.

Jackson may have been a hero to some in that he battled against the ideology of central banking and he supposedly won the battle there but his push to increase the powers of the Federal Government over the states led us directly to what we have today, the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve has forced our economy to be fully fiat with full legal support coming from the Federal Government towards this effort.

Fiat currency requires full manipulation (control) from the private entity known as the Federal Reserve and with full legal support from the Federal government. This is economic bondage in a real sense. We are in debt to a private collection of banks who have legal backing from the Federal Government and the states can do nothing about this at this time. That is unless the people wake up and rise up.

The above paragraph gives a clear definition of what a cartel really looks like.

How is that for evil? We need a complete overhaul not just small patches.
