USA,Inc. We have been a bankrupt country running on credit since 1933. When you say "They" what you really mean is "We" the taxpayers, we pay for time spent on paperwork, overtime, paper, computer, car, gas, uniforms, etc. With your statement that, "If more people did(know there rights), then convictions would inevitably decrease." Then with that understanding, we can conclude that either the law is flawed or the individual wasn't a criminal to begin with, or perhaps there simply hasn't been sufficient evidence supplied to convict. Again if there was an injured party, then there is someone to make a claim against that person held as suspect. After such claim is made, then the case can be brought to trial and the accused can be given a trial by a jury of peers. And by the way I don't trust you. Simply stating that with more convictions we get more bad guys is thoughtfully superficial. More on running "in the red." Our elected representatives were wise enough to put our money in the hands of the banking elite and give them the control over our money supply. This happened in 1913 and took the false name "Federal Reserve". If I were to have been given the power to print money, this is what I would do. I would, shortly after gaining such power, print more paper/fiat currency and give the country a relative boom in growth and productivity(the Roaring 20's). Then I would precipitously deflate the currency and make all the stock that was growing like gang busters, worthless, and in fact bankrupt the United States of America(1933). The whole while I am loaning this money to the U.S. Government to fund the immense growth using my printed/fiat currency, I will be charging interest on that currency and taking payment in the form of gold. Then, when there is no more Gold to be had, I will give the U.S. government a number to show the people as to how much money they owe me, and let the government come up with ways to pay that interest back to me. I might suggest an income tax on all income,(say the 16th Amendment, ratified or otherwise, tell them it is the law) in every form, labor, capital, wealth accession, and several others to be paid to me the banking elite. And to make sure the U.S. is good for the loan, I will have to ask for collateral, in the form of the only tangible thing that is left that I don't own. The people themselves. As long as the people don't catch on to what I'm doing, all will go smoothly, and I can keep my slaves working themselves to the grave. For it matters not who makes the law, as long as I have control of the money. Long live the "Republic?"
