We became financial slaves when the first private central bank of north america was founded, to "enable trade" according to Hamilton, who was loathed by many of the Founders.

And since my first immigrant ancestors arrived in 1608, I think I have every right to stay here and try to be as disruptive to their plans from the inside as I can possibly be. And not all my ancestors were immigrants.
