Key to establishing a dictatorship worth its salt is gaining virtually absolute control of a country’s financial system. Today, that is what’s happening in the United States of America. In order to gain said control Barack Obama’s minion and Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner is pushing for converting the current government-owned bank (under the pretense of “tax payer owned”) preferred stock to common stock. This will give Obama’s government majority control of all banks who have taken advantage of the bogus TARP and “stimulus” bills. Do any still really wonder why the government is refusing to take back payment of those loan monies from the banks?
