Henry Ford "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."


And Ford was a clear anti-semite. For all we know, he's probably alluding to some jewish conspiracy fantasy of his.


Yeah, the jewish conspiracy theories never made sense. If people with $1000 on their bank accounts want 3% interest they get $30, then they act surprised that this means that rich individuals also get 3% interest, which if you are a millionaire is $30k or 1000 times more. There's bound to be some jew millionaires or even billionaires because there are a lot of jews on the planet. Nobody cares about christian billionaires because they are too common.

It's kinda the same thing with land. Homeowners vote in regressive zoning and lower property taxes and then point the blame at high profile companies like Blackrock taking advantage of the same laws to boost their property values. A house price 20% increase is the same for everyone but real estate companies benefit more because they have more houses.

The fundamental problem is that everyone wants to benefit at the expense of other people and they let the big guys get away with it because restricting their benefit would restrict your own benefit.
