Slaves of Bankers

"Banking
was conceived in iniquity
and was born in sin.

The bankers own the earth.

Take it away from them,
but leave them the power to create money,
and with the flick of the pen
they will create enough deposits
to buy it back again.

However, take it away from them,
and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear
and they ought to disappear,
for this would be a happier and better world to live in.

But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers
and pay the cost of your own slavery,
let them continue
to create money."

- Sir Josiah Stamp,
Director of the Bank of England
(in the 1920s);
reputed to be the 2nd wealthiest man
in England
at that time.
