Banking was conceived in iniquity, and was born in sin.
The Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them, but
leave them the power to create deposits, and with the
flick of the pen, they will create enough deposits, to
buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and
all the great fortunes like mine will disappear, and
they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier
and better world to live in. But if you wish to remain
the slaves of Bankers, and pay the cost of your own
slavery, let them continue to create deposits.
-- Sir Josiah Stamp
President of the Bank of England in the 1920's;
the second richest man in Britain
