"The few who understand the system, will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors, that there will be no opposition from that class. The great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantages, will bear its burden without complaint." - Lord Rothschild, European central banker by Jake Towne, the Champion of the Constitution

I alluded to this previously in "Off a Cliff with No Airbags: The FED Banking System Quivers in Fright".
