sKiZo 186 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Speaking of revisionist history ... I was more interested in the recruiting sidebar where the site is trying to get me to subscribe to WW3. Oh. speaking of quotes ... it's all about context ... "a financial element in the larger centers has owned the government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson" That is a verified Roosevelt quote, but it was aimed strictly at the Federal Reserve Act which Wilson signed into law to try and minimize the sort of panic that set off the Great Depression. He felt it went too far in protecting the financial institutions and revised it with the Emergency Banking Act of 1933 to give the government more control on policy.
