"The basic and crucial political issue of our age is: capitalism versus socialism, or freedom versus statism. For decades, this issue has been silenced, suppressed, evaded, and hidden under the foggy, undefined rubber-terms of 'conservatism' and 'liberalism' which had lost their original meaning and could be stretched to mean all things to all men." - Ayn Rand

    Where is this quote from? I don't remember it AS? I like it. Rubber terms that could mean all things to all people work for politicians and hide the issue of freedom vs statism.

    Contrary to popular belief and deliberate misunderstanding, the issue is not capitalism (usury) versus socialism (collectivism).
    Since 1933, the collectivists have allied with the usurers to rule America.
    . . .
    The REAL issue is :
    [] Absolute ownership by sovereign people
    versus
    [] Qualified ownership by subject citizens.
    . . .
    And to implement qualified ownership, those who have a superior claim (creditors, governments) utilize fraud, constructive fraud, withholding of material facts, and intimidation to insure “voluntary compliance” with self-enslavement, compulsory charity, and expropriation of property for the benefit of another.
    . . .
    To further augment their power, they rely on money madness, the belief that money has value, while disregarding the reality of the marketplace of property, goods and services. Thus people are distracted by the illusion of money, and ignore the continuous skim they endure.
