The federal reserve and taxes are the SOURCE of a lot of our economic problems, along with over-regulation.
When the Fed sets interest rates low, people gain buying power beyond their means. When they print money, it devalues currency, and those on a fixed income lose wealth. The Fed is run by the banks, and checked by Congress and the president, and so it mostly protects bank and political interests in all of this. That's just not a healthy system; it is what has led to the current housing bubble crash and the looming potential recession. And when we're taxed, we have less money to spend, period.
