and that's (((their)))(3rd) greatest weapon.

usury

germany's state owned banks forbid interest (usury) and germany bounced back from the depression faster than any country. 3-5% on a home loan. a $500,000 would give the bank $15,000 that first year, on one house! think subdivision, ~250 houses. does a bank that already holds most peoples money really need to make 3.75 million for those loans?

i wonder (((who))) makes those rates that steal from american people? how much stronger this country would be? instead most of us are slaves

What is the alternative to banks though? Will you lend me 300k to buy a house free of interest?

this isn't one persons fight, it's for all of us. but i would suggest local credit unions, which still charge interest, but the money stays in the community. as far as i know. also, interest doesn't have to be that high. (((they))) who control the rate, think of profit before helping the people.

I'm not condoning or condemning. I'm just curious.

I liked several of your comments, decided to add you to my "friends" list to pay attention to and discovered them when looking over your history to be sure I wasn't making a mistake.

semi-apology for being a smart ass, but it's for personal reasons

Personally, I'm semi-impressed with your smart ass. Most people don't have what it takes to make any kind of apology for any reasons.
