That's because ignorance is bliss.
Our "currency" - is printed and manipulated by the FEDERAL RESERVE BANK - a PRIVATE ENTITY WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN AUDITED.
No go forth and sin no more.

Oh bull. Give me a break. The Federal Reserve is as much a "private entity" as the US Postal Service.
The Federal Reserve is controlled by congress. .
It is evident from the legislative history of the Federal Reserve Act that Congress did not intend to give the federal government direction over the daily operation of the Reserve Banks:
"The fact that the Federal Reserve Board regulates the Reserve Banks does not make them federal agencies under the Act

Yelling and screaming, doesn't make what you say true.
Now granted, the government does not regulate day to day business at the Federal Reserve. ..... so..... what?
True or False: Alan Greenspan was appointed by Reagan?
True or False: Ben Bernanke was appointed by Bush?
True or False: Ben Bernanke was an economic adviser to Bush before being appointed for the Fed?
True or False: Janet Yellen was appointed by Obama, and Approved by Congress?
True or False: Janet Yellen served as an economic adviser to Clinton in 97-99?
True or False: Janet Yellen served on the Federal Reserve Board before 97?
True or False: Timothy Geithner who served as Secretary of the Treasury, was president of the Fed in New York?
Are you seeing a pattern here? These people weave in and out of government office, into the Fed, and back in to government office, over and over and over again. The same guy running the Treasury, was running the Fed. The same guy running the Fed, was on the economic advisers to the President.
These same people, moving from executive, to agency, to Fed, to executive, to agency, to the Fed.
For you to claim that the Federal Government has no bearing on what the Fed Does, when all these guys are shuffling around from government position, to Fed, to Treasury to whatever else.... is absolutely retarded.
I'm just saying.... this is not a supportable position for you. These guys at the Fed, know their next job comes from someone in Congress appointing them to another government position. When congress sends over a note saying "You need to do X",.... THEY DO IT. They are as much a body of the government as the US Postal Service.
I'm sorry. To claim otherwise is ridiculous. I don't give a crap what the words on the paper say. You can cite "well blaw blaw blaw, says they are private, and independent!". Bull. I know better. With all due respect... get a clue man. Can't you see whats going on? It's not independent at all.
