    There is unrest in the forest
    There is trouble with the trees
    For the maples want more sunlight
    And the oaks ignore their pleas

    The trouble with the maples
    (And they're quite convinced they're right)
    They say the oaks are just too lofty
    And they grab up all the light
    But the oaks can't help their feelings
    If they like the way they're made
    And they wonder why the maples
    Can't be happy in their shade

    There is trouble in the forest
    And the creatures all have fled
    As the maples scream 'Oppression!'
    And the oaks just shake their heads

    So the maples formed a union
    And demanded equal rights
    'The oaks are just too greedy
    We will make them give us light'
    Now there's no more oak oppression
    For they passed a noble law
    And the trees are all kept equal
    By hatchet, axe and saw

    Federal Government regulation of the money and therefore banks makes complete sense to anyone that reads the Constitution. The Federal governments is given total control and the States given no power. Even a libertarian would see this truth.

    It makes no sense to protect bank depositor with the FDIC then turn around and allow banks to become Commercial gamblers with Federally insured deposits.

    Nor does it make sense to have the Federal Reserve keep track of all monies in the various pockets of usage, regulate the supply in order to maintain the value, while Freddy and Fanny hand out monies willie nilly to any joker with a hand out to plunk down on properties of unsupportable appraised values. Mortgage contracts then to be bundled into some sort of marketable commodity by Commercial gamblers protected by FDIC and politicians of great feeling and empathy.

    I never said it gets taxed more. I'm just saying the amount that gets taxed doesn't justify working more than a couple hours and not having a life outside of work.
