PERTINENT PICKINGS from the week ……………….

www.Call4Reform.org is a UK-wide campaign to reform the financial system. We have one request – that the power to create money is taken away from profit-making entities (the high street banks), and returned to the state. Doing so would allow us to: phase out the national debt, saving £100 million per day in interest costs – reduce the tax burden by up to 30%, permanently, or increase government services with no increase in taxation – Save 60% on the cost of public infrastructure projects (such as schools, hospitals and public transport), by removing the need to borrow this money and pay interest over 30 years – Significantly reduce the risk of future financial crises – Significantly improve the stability of the banking sector, protecting depositors and the taxpayer – Create a more stable currency and consequently a more stable economy
