Federal Reserve System is reason for economic crisis

To gain understanding of the economic crisis, one must look back to the root cause of the problem. In the year 1913, the seeds of our national destruction were sown. Congress abdicated its constitutional responsibility of “coining the money and determining the value thereof” and delivered this power to a group of international financiers, thereby creating a private corporation, deceptively called the Federal Reserve System. It is run for profit and its shareholders, members of the world's richest families, created central banking the world's most lucrative business.
