The New Bonnet, Francis William Edmonds, 1858

FROM The Tyranny of the Federal Reserve by Brian O’Brien (Amazon, 2015):

Many people are under the misconception that the rich are the enemy of the poor. This is not the case. The rich need the poor. The rich want servants. The poor, by and large, will bow down to the rich for scraps thrown to them.

The poor will quickly trade in a life of want and need to serve the rich. The poor are easily manipulated by politicians who promise handouts, and by radicals who preach class hatred and cloud the minds of the poor with unattainable international utopias. Usually, these radical communists, anarchists and socialists have big money backers who guide these movements not to attack the rich, but to attack the middle class and the sovereignty of nations.

The poor are in a state of want. They are needy by definition. They are prone to bootlick those who offer them scraps, and they easily fall into a state of dependency.

The true enemy of the rich is not the poor but the middle class— the hated bourgeoisie for which both international finance capitalists and international communists have so much contempt. If you own your own home, have strong family support, have savings, perhaps run your own business, or have some source of income other than wages paid by an employer, or you work in a career field where demand for your labor is high and you earn high wages, then you are your own person. You can earn a decent living without bootlicking.

If you are an American citizen and middle class, you are a powerful force to be reckoned with. Although you are not rich, you have rights and assets and you have something to lose. You have numbers and the ability to organize and raise funds to pursue your interests.

The rich have more assets than you but they lack your numbers. You can organize against the rich to pursue your own interests and put your considerable collective assets to work to defeat the rich who are smaller in number. You have voting power.

Currently, our richest Americans have global interests, which are in direct conflict to the interests of the American middle class and the American nation at large. While small in number, the rich are winning in their aims and the middle class is losing. The rich are organized and their goal is clear in their minds— at least in the minds of the richest few who are pulling the strings. These few are in firm control of the media, the government, the banks and the monetary system.

Our current ruling class is made up of extremely rich people who owe their wealth to fractional reserve banking and the current monetary system. Their wealth and power is dependent on the flow of money from the Federal Reserve to Wall Street banks to multinational corporations. The banks and corporations use debt money supplied by the Fed to siphon off the wealth of the people.

The conflict between our current ruling elite and the American middle class is one between people who want a global government in which the elite rules in feudalist fashion over a global proletariat versus those who believe that America is a nation worth saving— that our Constitution, our culture, our heritage, our values and our middle class lifestyle are things worth preserving.

[…]

The current wealthiest class in the United States is pursuing policies that are designed to crush the great American middle class and end it as an economic and political force and submerge us all into the ranks of the poor — to make us all needy, without property, dependent.

Free trade destroys the ability of the middle class to earn a decent living by allowing the rich to move capital out of the United States and around the world to where labor is most oppressed. Mass immigration imports impoverished non-citizen labor in large numbers into the United States which depresses wages and the ability for Americans to earn a decent living and save for the future without falling into debt. Large numbers of immigrants from different nations break up the social cohesion of the middle class reducing the ability of middle class people to organize to protect their interests.

The rich manipulate our culture and economy to break us down and divide us.
