Chevalier Charles Coulombe on Federal Reserve & Immoral Inflation?

Who owns the Federal Reserve Bank is one of my favourite trick questions to ask Americans. 90+% of people will answer immediately, 'The Government', to which I respond, gleefully, 'Wrong-O!'

As the Chevalier points out, it is a private corporation. Don't believe it? Find the phone book from any of the cities that have a Federal Reserve Bank. Turn to the 'Blue Pages' with government listings. You will search in vain for the Fed. Then turn to the regular Yellow Pages, where you will find it after Federal Express, and before Federal Signal Corporation, two other private corporations.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
