The Federal Reserve and Government.

Open Source Government ?

Andrew Lahde who earned 866% on his portfolio in the year before the financial crisis was quoted as saying in his farewell letter to the financial industry...

"On the issue of the U.S. Government, I would like to make a modest proposal. First, I point out the obvious flaws, whereby legislation was repeatedly brought forth to Congress over the past eight years, which would have reigned in the predatory lending practices of now mostly defunct institutions. These institutions regularly filled the coffers of both parties in return for voting down all of this legislation designed to protect the common citizen. This is an outrage, yet no one seems to know or care about it. Since Thomas Jefferson and Adam Smith passed, I would argue that there has been a dearth of worthy philosophers in this country, at least ones focused on improving government. Capitalism worked for two hundred years, but times change, and systems become corrupt. George Soros, a man of staggering wealth, has stated that he would like to be remembered as a philosopher. My suggestion is that this great man start and sponsor a forum for great minds to come together to create a new system of government that truly represents the common man’s interest, while at the same time creating rewards great enough to attract the best and brightest minds to serve in government roles without having to rely on corruption to further their interests or lifestyles. This forum could be similar to the one used to create the operating system, Linux, which competes with Microsoft’s near monopoly. I believe there is an answer, but for now the system is clearly broken."

Fairness

The clear and present danger is the crossroads of law and money. The crossroads of government and constituent, and/or corruption and efficiency/effectiveness. The danger of losing the reality of who Joe the plumber really is. A fundamental of the US economy. Who makes money off the interest of every day life? Intereseting word interest. Who controls interest ? Are the banking and financial industry more corrupt than media?

Phase 3, One World dollar, one world government, one world law. It must be as simple as that.

Own the currency and you own the nation. Who owns yours?

Information/Thought/Knowledge/Ideas dare you say... Memory(Recording/Sharing), should be free, not money. A specific area the 'Feds' or Congress/'Representatives' turn a blind eye. Due strictly to Money. If We're to be a Socialist Nation, Why not be Socialist With these components?
