<div>In a meeting with merchants and bankers at the British Board of Trade, members asked Franklin how the American Colonies managed to collect enough money to support their poor.   Franklin replied, "That is simple.   In the Colonies, we issue our own money.  
It is called Colonial Scrip.   We issue it in proper proportion to the demands of trade and industry to make the products pass easily from the producers to the consumers.   In this manner, creating for ourselves our own paper money, we control its purchasing power, and we have no interest to pay to no one." Both quotes from Charles Binderup, Ibid.   "It passed through no banker's hands, but was loaned to the people direct, thus saving banking toll and banking restriction of volume; nor are there any panics or fluctuations recorded.   Thomas Powell, M.P., of England, who had acted as governor and commander-in-chief of all provinces, in a book written by him in 1768, says in regard to this colonial system of money: 'I will venture to say that there never was a wiser or better measure, never one better calculated to serve the uses of an increasing country, and never was a measure more steadily pursued or more faithfully executed for forty years together than the loan office in Pennsylvania, formed and administered by the assembly of the province.'" Samuel Leavitt, Our Money Wars, 1894.  
 
"After Franklin gave explanations on the true cause of the prosperity of the Colonies, the Parliament exacted laws forbidding the use of this money in the payment of taxes. This decision brought so many drawbacks and so much poverty to the people that it was the main cause of the Revolution. The suppression of the Colonial money was a much more important reason for the general uprising than the Tea and Stamp Act." Peter Cooper, industrialist, inventor, philanthropist, and Presidential candidate.

They really gave Franklin a new sense of the problem. When he came home after the reaction he received in England, his mind was on defeating the Crown and all it stood for. But, he also new the more insidious problem behind the Crown. All from that debt incurred upon the King for his own greed and prosperity!

Look at L.A.

 

 

Resources to promote home schooling would go a long way to mitigate any fear associated with these powerful injections of media controlled ideologies! What is this fanatical frenzy doing these old minds? What kind of fear and fantasy will they face 25 years from now?

 

Not to mention the values of consumerism and what that contains.  Economical Values?  King George III was driven to madness and destruction from the debt incurred upon his subjects and then himself. 

 

 

Provide the keys to self sufficiency!

 

 

Thomas is a Paine in the ass!

<div>Ah yes, the art of invisible slavery. The Crown was used by others to collect a debt! 
 
 

 
 
That's nothing new. Wars cost money. The invisible war runs deep!

Lessons learned from the stamp and sugar acts....

http://alphahistory.com/americanrevolution/declaratory-act/


After repealing the Stamp Act Parliament decides to pass the Declaratory Act.  This is a wicked one because it effectively puts Parliament in control over all colony policy. This leaves the colonies under the net of Parliament. Even unto having any direct redress or appeal to the king himself.


The colonies didn't pay too much attention to this act....being only concerned with the economy. After the Stamp and sugar act debacles something had to be done.


But, there were some who saw this as a prelude to bigger things on the way...taxes! More taxes with bigger teeth to collect it.
