    We got separation of church and state. The next logical step should be separation of bank and state.

    Money should belong to the people!

    The money does belong to the people until they ask for it back. :)

    that's an interesting thought. in america, money actually belongs to something called the federal reserve. it is actually not the government. it is actually not even any part of the government. it is bankers who have been contracted to essentially run the treasury. the problem of course, is that economic interests, do exert a greater influence of the political process at present, then does anything to do with the will of the people. something the constitution sought to avoid, but was unable to entirely prevent.
