I Killed the Bank
When asked what his greatest accomplishment had been during his two terms as President, Andrew Jackson replied "I killed the Bank." He was talking about the "Second Bank of the United States", which was our country's second central bank.
So, why was Jackson so passionate about terminating the central bank? And why did he believe that central banks were so insidious? And why should you care?
A couple of reasons you might be interested to know about what motivated Jackson:
Though Jackson ended the central bank, it was re-created in 1913 under a new innocuous-sounding name "The Federal Reserve", which is still with us today.
Also, it's interesting to note that Andrew Jackson's populist message relating to banking helped to launch the Democratic party...
At the end of the article there is a poll:
Should we end the Federal Reserve?
Yes - 94% (455)
No - 3% (17)
Other - 1% (9)
There's 'hope' yet for the cult of Socialists!
