 Level: 3 CS Original | If Ron Paul wants to rob the Federal Reserve System's owners by abolishing their private property, wouldn't they deserve compensation because of the takings clause in the Fifth Amendment? And if so, how much extra would we have to pay in taxes for this buyout? | |||||

Level: 3 CS Original | Apparently libertarian and fringe-conservative Fed haters don't see the irony of using the power of the state to threaten to rob private bankers who have operated legally all along, despite their unconvincing arguments against the Fed's constitutionality. Mainstream Republicans haven't joined this campaign because the very rich people who back them like the current system as is; and it would also set a dangerous precedent to attack the key members of the financial elite associated with the Federal Reserve System. | |||||
